| Position Description: |
Maxim Health Information Services (MHIS) is seeking Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) Specialists to serve as Interim CDI Specialist in hospitals throughout the US. These positions are travel positions.
The responsibilities are primarily to review medical records concurrently within the requesting facilities and determine if there are gaps in documentation; if so, query the physicians appropriately to clarify the documentation to support and then record the appropriate working MS-DRGs. As part of the interview process, candidates for the CDI Specialist positions will be interviewed by Maxim's account executives and Director of CDI, as well as the client if they so desire.

By focusing on these efforts and striving to eliminate documentation gaps, the CDI Program will provide clients with accurate and compliant documentation resulting in appropriate healthcare facility reimbursement.
