There is More to CMI than You Think

Case Mix Index (CMI) is a standard metric used by most hospitals to measure documentation and coding performance. However, most hospitals do not usually consider the limitations of CMI as a performance metric. This session will introduce a best practice approach to CMI as a key performance indicator.

What You Will Learn:

Learn how do to determine what the appropriate CMI target for a specific patient population should be
Understand what to consider in selecting the benchmarks for performance
Learn how to quantify the impact of documentation/coding performance improvements vs. changes in patient mix or external factors outside of CDI/HIM team’s control (e.g., like COVID)
