CDI or Clinical Documentation Improvement is a process that is used to improve the records of the healthcare so that the outcomes related to patients is improved, the quality of data is improved and there is accurate reimbursement. Clinical documentation is a core of every patient encounter and this could only be of any sense if they are timely, accurate and shows the scope of the services being provided by a particular hospital ("Clinical documentation improvement", n.d.).
