Sample interview questionsHow do you approach auditing a CDI review for quality and compliance?I use a structured audit methodology that evaluates clinical validity, documentation completeness, query compliance, coding alignment, and adherence to organizational workflow. I document evidence clearly, score findings consistently, and distinguish education opportunities from material compliance risks.

How would you identify and communicate a missed documentation opportunity?

I would validate the opportunity against the clinical record, coding guidelines, and query policy before documenting the finding. I would then provide specific, non-punitive feedback explaining the documentation gap, its potential quality or reimbursement impact, and the preferred future practice.

What metrics would you monitor to evaluate CDI program performance?

I would monitor query volume and response rates, agreement rates, audit accuracy, CC/MCC and HCC capture, case mix index impact, turnaround time, and recurring error themes. Trends should be segmented by reviewer, service line, and education topic to guide targeted improvement plans.

How do you ensure the confidentiality of PHI during remote audit work?

I follow HIPAA and company security procedures by accessing records only through approved systems, using secure devices and networks, limiting information to the minimum necessary, and avoiding storage or discussion of PHI outside authorized channels. I also maintain careful audit documentation practices and report any potential privacy concern immediately.

Describe how you would educate a CDI specialist whose audit performance is below expectations.

I would begin with objective examples from the audit and discuss the underlying knowledge or workflow gap collaboratively. I would create a focused education plan with practical examples, reference materials, measurable goals, follow-up audits, and supportive coaching to confirm sustained improvement.
