Pressure Injury Documentation and the Physician Advisor: How Can We Help and What’s In it for Me?



Clinical Documentation Integrity Committee

Thursday, May 15, 2025 | 6PM ET

Please join us in a panel discussion amongst ACPA CDI committee physician advisors who are experienced in supporting documentation integrity related to pressure injuries. During the session, we will briefly describe a background of pressure injury specific terms and definitions, quality measures associated with pressure injuries, and other common alternate diagnoses. Our panelists will share insights on what they are doing in their own institution related to pressure injuries, tips, and broadly applicable opportunities for physician advisors.  We will also discuss subtle nuances of the documentation that can influence pressure injury code assignment and will end with thoughts on the future tools that may be available to help clinicians, CDI, coders, and physician advisors efforts in this area.
