Physician Engagement

Ensuring timely and consistent physician responses to CDI queries, particularly for retrospective reviews, which often deal with discharged patients

Scalability

Managing a large-scale, multi-market operation with varying levels of CDI staffing and engagement.

Data Utilization

Using data-driven insights to prioritize cases and educate staff to improve outcomes.

We didn’t want a rules-based software; we wanted something AI-based that looks at the chart in a neutral fashion, ensuring consistent quality reviews.

Iodine is a product that will absolutely deliver on its ROI, whether you’re focused on quality or finances.
