Pediatric Clinical Documentation Improvement

Pediatrics is not a specialty. There are specialities within Pediatrics. You would never put your sick child in the hands of a physician with no pediatric experience. Why put your pediatric CDI program in the hands of a consultant or educator who thinks it is the same as the adult world?

Starting or optimizing a pediatric CDI program requires an intimate understanding of congenital diagnoses combined with a working knowledge of the most common conditions and surgeries that drive care at a Children's Hospital. SMRT Doc brings years of experience implementing pediatric CDI at peer institutions giving you best practice knowledge of the opportunities your pediatricians and pediatric surgeons need to understand to produce accurate and specific clinical documentation. We have a unique education curriculum, optimization method, procedure / surgical portfolio and set of analysis services for the standalone or subspecialty Children's Hospital.

  • -|  Children's Hospital Experience - Our experts have direct consulting experience in the CDI or HIM space at least 13 of the nation's top 75 Children's Hospital Association (CHA/CHCA/NACRI) hospitals.

One of our experts was directly involved in the first effort nationwide to map congenital cardiac surgeries from ICD-10 coding nomenclature to the Society for Thoracic Surgery's (STS) diagnosis and procedure term lists.
