Answer: C

Explanation:

The manager of HIM/Coding should be included as a key stakeholder in the clinical documentation integrity (CDI) steering committee to promote CDI initiatives because they are responsible for overseeing the coding and billing processes, ensuring compliance with coding guidelines and regulations, and collaborating with the CDI team to resolve coding and documentation discrepancies. The manager of HIM/Coding can also provide feedback on the CDI program’s impact on coding quality, accuracy, productivity, and reimbursement. (CDIP Exam Preparation Guide)
