Clinical Documentation Improvement Australia
Clinical Documentation Improvement Australia (CDIA) was born out of a group of Australian doctors and nurses who observed how the quality of clinical documentation was impacting patients from a safety, quality and communication perspective, and hospitals from a funding perspective.

In 2021, CDIA supported the inaugural CDI-dedicated conference in Australia. CDIA also released the first ever Clinical Documentation Specialist Certification (CCDS) for countries using ICD-10-AM and the CDIA Community – the global home of healthcare professionals passionate about CDI.
