Available ON-DEMAND
Presented on: Thursday, October 15, 2020
Presented by: Amy Sanderson, MD, Daxa Clarke, MD, and Corinna Foley, MBA
Concrete data is one of the most important tools in a CDI professional’s arsenal. That information can be leveraged into new projects, defining a department’s direction forward in the everchanging CDI and healthcare landscape.
While individual departments monitor and report data internally to help set their own organizational direction, research-backed data shared on a broader scale can help set the tone and direction for the entire CDI industry and even illuminate areas for improvement in healthcare overall.
Knowing what problems or questions deserve more concentrated study and how to share that information with a broader audience outside your organizational walls can be a massive challenge. The research and publishing process—from choosing a project, to meeting Institutional Research Board requirements—is often opaque to those on the outside without any past research experience.
During this 90-minute webinar, pediatric CDI experts and veteran researchers Amy Sanderson, MD, Daxa Clarke, MD, and Corinna Foley, MBA, will share their experiences and walk listeners through the steps and necessary questions to plan and execute their own research projects, as well as share their findings through the publishing process.
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Describe the importance of pediatric CDI research for the industry and individual CDI departments/professionals
- List the steps necessary for choosing and conducting research projects
- Identify existing projects that could be leveraged into publishable research projects
- Define types of research projects and explain the benefits/pitfalls of various study styles
