Alexis Wells, MSN, RN, CCDS, LSSYB, has been a registered nurse since 2008, working in various states (Michigan, Texas, California, Florida, and Washington) and areas including CVICU, neuro ICU, med/surg ICU, telemetry, bone marrow transplant unit, and home hospice. This provided a well-rounded foundation to become a Clinical Documentation Specialist in 2015. Within six months, Alexis was promoted as the CDI Clinician Coordinator, facilitating education to providers and cultivating relationships with essential ancillary departments such as Nutrition, Wound Care, and IT. In 2021, Alexis took on the opportunity to become a Quality Educator, combining the two worlds of CDI and Quality. Now, she serves as the Associate Director of CDI over Quality and Education at an 11-hospital health system, continuing to break down silos and advocating to make it easy to do the right thing, especially for the very vulnerable and critical septic population.
