Today’s show is hosted by ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Linnea Archibald, Editor and Product Coordinator Karla Accorto, and Associate Editor Jess Fluegel. The show provides a glimpse behind the scenes of all things ACDIS in a more casual, conversational format than our other podcast series. It also features a conversation with Mandy Petre, RN, CDI specialist at Rock Regional Hospital in Derby, Kansas, about CDI and utilization review (UR) hybrid roles.

Our intro and outro music for the ACDIS Podcast is “medianoche” by Dee Yan-Kay and our ad music is “Take Me Higher” by Jahzzar, both obtained from the Free Music Archive.
