The Association for Integrity in Health Care Documentation (AIHCD ® ) is an organization of professionals who are impacted directly and indirectly by changes that are occurring today in health care reform, specifically, the changes that are generated or communicated through the documentation within the medical record. AIHCD ® is comprised of physicians, physician advisors, nurses, case managers, HIMs, clinical documentation integrity specialists, compliance officers and coders, as well as health care attorneys and revenue cycle specialists working towards health care communication betterment for all.
Membership in AIHCD ® offers health care professionals the opportunity to rise above their peers by increasing their knowledge of medical cost recovery efforts and teaches members how to take that knowledge back to their team and implement a positive change within their institutions. Not only does this make them an essential part of the team, but it also makes them a vital part of the hospital’s overall success.
