To meet ongoing auditing requirements, many hospitals are moving away from traditional coding audits to clinical documentation audits. Our proven results have led to CDIA being the preferred choice to undertake these audits.
Distinct from coding audits, our CDI audits are conducted by doctors and senior nurses who review the medical record to identify diagnoses that are implied but cannot be coded due to the documentation not meeting the Australian Coding Standards.
If you are interested in partnering with CDIA to perform regular clinical documentation audits to both assess the quality of your clinical documentation, whilst optimising your revenue, please contact us today.
Documentation Analysis
CDIA audits have found that documentation deficiencies can be present in up to 50% of records. Whilst not all of these deficiencies move the DRG alone, they all potentially impact the quality of care delivered to the patient. CDIA audits comprehensively analyse the quality of your documentation.
Guaranteed Results
CDIA audit’s produce significant results, even for records that have already undergone a traditional coding audit. This is because CDIA auditors are clinical and approach the audit through an entirely different lens. Our team of clinicians generate ethical and comprehensive documentation queries that reduce the administrative burden associated with regular coding audits.

CDIA targets episodes via a systematic approach for episode selection. Our proven algorithm ensures that hospitals experience an immediate return on their investment.
