Getting Documentation Right the First Time


Thursday, May 7th, 2026 | 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM CT 

Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) teams play a critical role in ensuring diagnoses are accurate, supported, and reflective of the care delivered. But as charts grow more complex and payer scrutiny of retrospective documentation review increases, changes to documentation that happen after the clinical moment are becoming harder to defend — increasing risk of denials, delaying reimbursement, and driving rework for CDI teams and clinicians. The solution: using technology to get documentation right the first time, to get reimbursed the first time.

Join Regard's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Kirk, and CDI leaders as they explore what it takes to get documentation right the first time. This session examines how using technology to recommend diagnoses supported by clinically relevant evidence from the chart, during care delivery — reduces avoidable queries, strengthens defensibility, and lets CDI teams focus their expertise where it matters most: clinical validation, quality alignment, and denial prevention.
