Potential stakeholders of the CDI program include the ________.

• A. CDI team
• B. Providers
• C. Medical executive committee
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Collaborative involvement is essential for a CDI program to be effective. The CDI team leads documentation quality initiatives, performs reviews, and develops queries to elicit precise clinical details. Providers are critical because they supply the clinical information that defines diagnoses, procedures, severity, and patient complexity, and they respond to queries to clarify documentation. The Medical Executive Committee provides governance, policy direction, and oversight to ensure documentation standards align with regulatory, quality, and financial goals. Since all three groups contribute necessary input, governance, and implementation, they are all stakeholders in the CDI program.
