Today’s guest is Katie Parsley, RN, MSN, CCDS, CPHQ, the CDI manager at Providence Health and Services for the Oregon service area.

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.

CEU info:

Each ACDIS Podcast episode now offers 0.5 ACDIS CEU which can be used toward recertifying your CCDS or CCDS-O credential for those who listen to the show in the first two days from the time of publication.

To receive your 0.5 CEU, go to the show page on acdis.org, by clicking on the “ACDIS Podcast” link located under the “Free Resources” tab. To take the evaluation, click the most recent episode from the list on the podcast homepage, view the podcast recording at the bottom of that show page, and click the live link at the very end after the music has ended. Your certificate will be automatically emailed to you upon submitting the brief evaluation. (Note: If you are listening via a podcast app, click this link to go directly to the show page on acdis.org: https://acdis.org/acdis-podcast/improving-cdi-team-culture)

Note: To ensure your certificate reaches you and does not get trapped in your organization’s spam filters, please use a personal email address when completing the CEU evaluation form.

The cut-off for today’s episode CEU is Monday, July 7, at 11:00 p.m. Eastern. After that point, the CEU period will close, and you will not be eligible for the 0.5 CEU for this week’s episode. Note that this week’s CEU period has been extended due to the Fourth of July holiday.
