April 30, 2026 | Cheryl Manchenton and Dan Bray
Transforming a clinical documentation integrity program takes more than just new technology, it takes exceptional leadership. Join Cheryl Manchenton and Dan Bray, CDI manager and “chart crusader” at Cape Fear Valley Health System. Dan shares his go-to moves for building trust, advancing collaboration and recognizing the everyday wins that keep staff motivated. Find inspiration to level up your CDI department and spark your own leadership journey.
What makes a successful program is making sure you have that collaboration and those silos are non-existent. C-suite buy-in and having the hospitalist and the community providers engaged as well has been paramount in our success.
