Description: Queries are a vital part of a CDI program. CDI professionals can be hyper-focused on asking their question but not as aware of what the recipient's perception is when reading the query. If the CDIP tries to ask too many questions, ask the wrong question, or ask the question wrong, they may not get the clarification they are seeking. Dr. Remer will share examples of common errors and suboptimally constructed queries, and she will provide insight from the clinician's perspective. She will review compliant query composition from industry standard references and model good query practice with many case-based examples.
