Job Description

JOB OVERVIEW

DeliverHealth is seeking an experienced Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) Specialist to support the continuous improvement of InstaNote's AI-powered Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) feature.

The primary responsibility of this role is to evaluate the quality, clinical relevance, and accuracy of the CDI recommendations generated by InstaNote during patient encounters. The specialist will validate AI-generated suggestions, identify false positives, false negatives, and missed documentation opportunities, and provide structured feedback to Product Management and Engineering teams to continuously enhance the performance of the CDI engine.

This is not a traditional operational CD I role focused on physician queries or concurrent hospital documentation reviews. Instead, this is a Product Quality and Clinical AI role that ensures InstaNote delivers clinically meaningful, accurate, and actionable documentation improvement recommendations.

This role serves as the critical link between clinical expertise, revenue cycle knowledge, and AI product development.
