You’ll get excited about all the fantastic ideas you glean from the education sessions and networking with your peers. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of purpose about outpatient CDI, knowing you will be equipped to lead change in amazing ways. But then reality comes roaring back when you go home, and you slowly return to just maintaining the status quo. What if there was a way for things to be different this time? Our keynote speaker Jones Loflin says there is such a way: think like a gardener. And the best part is you only have to remember four words: Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest. In this powerfully practical and engaging session, expect to learn a myriad of tips and strategies on how to move the ideas you get from the Symposium into reality once you return home, including getting others on board with your change efforts.

Breakout Sessions Track 1: Clinical and CodingClaims Submission vs. RAPS Submission: Understanding the DifferenceSonia Trepina, MPA and Brett Senor, MD, CRC, CCDSSo often we wonder why numbers are not consistent from one analysis to the next. We assume that one of the analyses is wrong. Maybe the analyses are just different? If you are entering into a Medicare Advantage risk adjustment contract or have been in one for a while, it is important to be aware of the differences in the claims submission and the impact on the risk scores and data. Awareness is the first step to change! Understanding the differences in process and impact can help CDI teams understand how they can best support their organization on the journey of risk adjustment.
