“I’d like to take a moment to recognize the outstanding contributions of our outpatient CDI consultant, Norwood. Their depth of knowledge has been instrumental in helping us build the foundation of our new program.

Highly recommend to any organization looking to launch or elevate their outpatient CDI efforts!”

Why Norwood Solutions?
Responsiveness matters. Uplevel your capabilities with a team that is invested in your success, understanding of your needs, and driven to make you look good to your leadership.
Why Managed Services?
Most organizations lack access to necessary human capital. High-quality coding and CDI professionals are costly. According to the American Hospital Association, labor costs account for more than 50 percent of a facility's total expenses. Healthcare organizations also spend incalculable time staffing and managing human capital that should be focused on your mission—quality health care delivery.
We take the administration off your plate so you can focus on what you do best—caring for patients. Let Norwood do the work for you as a trusted partner, managing your costs. You get the added benefit of complete visibility into cost control.
Why Norwood Consulting?
We bring the blended talents of nurse and coding professionals to provide clinical, coding, and regulatory expertise. In addition to traditional inpatient CDI/coding metrics, we impact case management outcomes including accuracy of admissions, risk adjustment through improved accuracy in coding patient complexity, and improve regulatory compliance through risk mitigation.
