## Summary

In this episode, we are joined by our friend [Glenn Krauss](https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenn-krauss-93521a19/) from [CORE-CDI](https://core-cdi.com/). Glenn and I had the opportunity to sit down and review the CDI programs for Inpatient and Outpatient and how important CDI is to the healthcare industry. We will discuss the following:

- The medical record as a communication tool versus a reimbursement tool

- Physician documentation improvement must be physician-centric and physician driven

- Compliance and ethics in Physician Documentation Improvement must be an integral part of any program

- Can CDI programs elevate compliance risk unknowingly without proper precautions being taken?

Find Glenn at the upcoming [Pain Management Compliance Symposium](https://sparkadvise.com/product/pain-management-workshop/) on April 13 and [CDI Symposium 2023](https://sparkadvise.com/product/cdi-symposium/) on September 13-14
