The Challenge

Community Health System implemented IodineCDI + Interact to address its challenges. By leveraging AI-powered tools, embracing mobile-first technology, and standardizing CDI processes, CHS is now better positioned to deliver high-quality care while maintaining strong financial performance.

Physician Adoption

Physicians were historically resistant to engaging with electronic query systems, leading to delays and inconsistent documentation practices.

Lack of Standardization

Homegrown query processes varied widely and lacked clear expectations for response times or methods, creating operational inefficiencies.

Physician Engagement

Mobile response to queries was nearly nonexistent, contributing to slow turnaround times and reduced accuracy.

Workflow Inefficiencies

Without clear prioritization, CDI specialists struggled to focus on high-impact cases. The use of multiple tools further fragmented the workflow.

You owe it to yourself to check it out. It will change your life, your provider’s day, and you will see results you never expected.

When our providers are using mobile technology, our response time is less than a day. That’s crazy, our physicians don’t do anything in less than a day in the administrative space.
