Description

The first two years of a Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) specialist's career often feels like a whirlwind of learning. Many in the field call it the steepest learning curve of their professional lives. After their two-year anniversary, committed individuals can show their professional dedication by sitting for the Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS) exam.

The CCDS Exam Study Guide, Fourth Edition, helps those ready to sit for the test ensure they're prepared to excel.

The latest edition aligns the testing content domains in a chronological manner with how new CDI professionals obtain core skill sets. The Study Guide provides targeted information regarding test objectives prepared by the CCDS Certification Committee, letting candidates focus their time on areas of CDI practice with which they are least familiar.
