RN - Clinical Documentation Specialist

The Clinical Documentation Specialist (CDS) is responsible for supporting and facilitating the overall quality of medical record documentation by improving the completeness, accuracy, and reliability of clinical documentation.  A key success factor of this process is educating providers through the query process and independently supporting them with education and feedback to accurately reflect the patient's true clinical picture within the medical record.  In partnering with the coding team, the CDS will be an expert with ICD-10, NS-DRG and APR-DRG assignment.
