I document objective evidence from the record, score consistently against defined criteria, and provide feedback that distinguishes education opportunities from material compliance concerns. Describe how you would identify and communicate a missed CC/MCC, HCC, or severity-of-illness opportunity. I would review the full clinical picture, including provider documentation, diagnostics, treatment, and relevant coding guidelines, to determine whether the condition is clinically supported and reportable. I would then explain the missed opportunity with record-based rationale, applicable guidance, and a practical recommendation for future case review or compliant query consideration. How do you ensure audit feedback is constructive when a CDI specialist disagrees with your findings? I keep feedback specific, evidence-based, and tied to established policy or coding and query standards. I invite the specialist to explain their clinical reasoning, review the case together when useful, and focus the conversation on consistent future practice rather than assigning blame. Which CDI program metrics would you monitor, and how would you use them to improve performance? I would monitor query volume and response rates, agreement rates, audit accuracy, CC/MCC capture, case-mix-index impact, and recurring audit themes. I would use trends to target education, refine workflow guidance, and measure whether corrective actions improve both quality and consistency over time. What steps do you take to protect PHI while conducting remote clinical documentation audits? I access only the minimum necessary information through approved systems, follow secure authentication and storage requirements, and avoid sharing PHI through unapproved channels. I also maintain a private work environment, apply company retention procedures, and promptly report any suspected privacy or security issue. Opportunity details ## About this role.
