On an ongoing basis, the CDS is responsible for supporting the direction and focus of education for providers and the coding staff within their assigned scope of work. The CDS must exercise independent judgment, critical thinking, ability to work independently while interpreting and following CMS guidelines, organizational policies, and procedures.
