Updated Changes to AHIMA’s 2026 Query Guidelines

 "AHIMA, in collaboration with ACDIS, has released the 2026 update to the Guidelines for Achieving a Compliant Query Practice, which supersedes the 2022 version ACDIS. The update introduces several substantive changes aimed at improving compliance, clarifying intent, and addressing emerging challenges like AI-generated queries.

Major changes include:

• Definition of noncompliant multiple queries – The brief now explicitly defines when multiple queries are considered noncompliant, helping organizations avoid unnecessary or redundant queries ACDIS.

• Role of prior encounters – Prior encounter documentation can support a query if clinically relevant to the current encounter, but it cannot be the sole basis for a query. Sufficient supporting information must be present in the current encounter Norwood Staffing.

• Technology-generated queries – Compliance frameworks now address technology-generated queries (e.g., AI, CAC tools). These are now considered a compliance risk, and organizations must ensure they meet the same standards as manually created queries YouTube.

• Clinical indicators – Clinical indicators (e.g., MEAT) are not used as a basis for code support. They are implicit in the requirement that queries be clinically relevant, but they cannot be the sole justification Norwood Staffing.

• Query templates and policies – The update expands guidance on query templates, policies, and procedures, emphasizing that organizations should document review and any resulting policy updates as part of their compliance program ACDIS.

• Yes/no and “unable to determine” responses – The option of “unable to determine” is now required in POA and all yes/no queries, ensuring transparency when documentation is insufficient Norwood Staffing.

• Coding from query responses – Coding can be done from a query response alone, provided the query form is retained in the permanent medical record. If not, the provider must document the response in the medical record. A single response is sufficient, and it does not need to be repeated elsewhere Norwood Staffing.

• Scope and enforcement – The brief applies to all settings (inpatient, outpatient) and stresses that everyone engaged in the query process must follow the guidelines, including outsourced or overseas CDI contractors Norwood Staffing.

Why it matters:
These changes shift the focus from simply following a checklist to ensuring queries are clinically precise, compliant, and supported by current encounter documentation. They also address modern CDI challenges like AI and automation, which can blur compliance lines if not properly managed.

If you are in CDI, coding, compliance, or revenue cycle, reviewing and updating your query policies to align with the 2026 guidelines is essential to avoid audit findings and ensure accurate, compliant documentation."

Stay Active & Prayed Up: Chronic Kidney Disease

 Health information inquiry on chronic kidney disease and those having survived, all ages, that oppressive time of the pandemic. Stay blessed, active and healthy!

 

"Yes, but the answer is a little more complicated than it first appears.

The COVID-19 pandemic did increase the number of people who needed dialysis because COVID can cause severe kidney damage, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Some hospitalized patients required temporary dialysis, and some went on to develop permanent kidney failure requiring long-term dialysis.

However, in the United States, the total number of people on chronic dialysis actually declined during the first year of the pandemic. That happened because:

• Many dialysis patients were especially vulnerable to severe COVID-19 and died.
• Fewer people began treatment for end-stage kidney disease during the early months of the pandemic, partly because healthcare was disrupted.
• The dialysis population experienced an unprecedented decrease of about 2% in 2020.

Researchers found that:

• Dialysis patients had COVID-19 infection rates substantially higher than the general Medicare population.
• Deaths among dialysis patients increased by nearly 20% in 2020 compared with 2019.
• COVID-related kidney injury created additional demand for dialysis services in hospitals.

So if you're asking, "Did more people need dialysis because of the pandemic?" the answer is yes. If you're asking, "Did the total number of people receiving long-term dialysis increase during the early pandemic?" the answer is not immediately—it actually decreased at first because of increased mortality and disruptions in care.

If you're interested, I can also explain whether nephrologists are now seeing an increase in chronic kidney disease and dialysis needs several years after COVID infections."

On the Wheels of Angels - Adaptation of Healing Prayer of St. Claire of Assasi

 

What you hold may you always hold.

What you do, may you always do and never abandon

But with swift pace, on the wheels of angels, 

On the wings of the arch angels

light step and unswerving feet

so that even your steps stir up no dust,

Go forward, the spirit of our God has called you 

Oppose a Rise of Neo Nazis in America

​This is a cause to campaign against. Not being nieve that many of this group who are American want to be heard. A history of this nation shows unity even when the union fractured. They too are our brothers , sisters and cousins. Violence is not the way forward on either side. Communication and protection might be. Peace yawl.
