A recent False Claims Act case is raising an important question for CDI professionals: what if the diagnosis is clinically valid, but the process behind it is challenged? 

During the next live edition of the popular Talk Ten Tuesdays podcast, Dr. Robert Oubre, director of CDI and UM at St. Tammany Health System, will report on a motion for summary judgement on a case (Smith vs Mercy Health) on 

how malnutrition documentation and electronic medical record (EMR) workflows came under scrutiny. Dr. Oubre will also discuss the role of AHIMA guidance and the importance of compliance oversight. This is a must listen for CDI, coding, and compliance leaders.

The popular Internet broadcast will also feature these additional instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:
