CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION IMPROVEMENT AUSTRALIA (CDIA) strives to empower clinicians to deliver safer care to every patient. By partnering with hospitals, we create a documentation culture that reflects the clinical truth, ensure hospital funding reflects patient complexity, and enhance the integrity of health care data.
CDIA was born out of a group of doctors and nurses who observed how the quality of clinical documentation was impacting patients from a safety, quality and communication perspective and hospitals from a reimbursement perspective. Disillusioned with the mantra to “write more”, CDIA sought a better way. CDIA’s eye opening and unique approach has led to partnerships with hospitals right across Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.
