The Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) Program at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) successfully reports impactful data of Severity of Illness (SOI) and Risk of Mortality (ROM) of our Medi-Cal community locally and nationally. The program utilizes patient health data to create visual pathways of patient flow for better collaboration between various departments including medical staff, revenue cycle, coding, and utilization management. Since its inception in 2018, the CDI program at ARMC has pioneered novel approaches to categorize pertinent information about patients' presented symptoms and comorbid conditions from the emergency department to discharge.
