The updated brief was released on Oct. 10, 2022 and has been open for comments.

During the next live edition of the popular and long-running Talk Ten Tuesdays broadcast, Karen Carr, an AHIMA CDI practitioner, will explore the next steps in the process of finalizing the practice brief for publication.
