ACDIS Annual Conference 2026

  • Apr 20–23, 2026
  • Chicago , IL

Location: Hyatt Regency, Chicago, IL

Join our session: Seeing the Patient, Not Just the Chart

CDI has historically focused on reimbursement and coding accuracy. But to remain relevant and impactful, CDI must evolve to embrace a patient-centered mindset. We must review the medical record as if we were advocating for the patient, ensuring it reflects the full clinical picture, the severity of illness, and the rationale behind care decisions. This session will explore what it means to perform CDI through a patient-centered lens that supports quality metrics, risk adjustment, clinical communication, and health equity.

  • Speaker:
    • Diana O’Connor, VP of Clinical Services – Waystar
