1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a clinical documentation improvement (CDI) system executing on a processor, real time medical data for a population of a hospital or healthcare facility streamed from one or more hospital data sources;
translating, by the CDI system, the real time medical data to structured data for the hospital population, the structured data stored in a plurality of patient cases associated with a first patient of a plurality of patients in the hospital population, the plurality of patient cases stored in a database;
accessing and evaluating, by the CDI system in response to a triggering event, the plurality of patient cases for the hospital population, the evaluating including:
resolving a Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) code from zero or more DRG codes associated with each patient case, and
determining a CDI scoring approach for the each patient case based at least in part on a result from the resolving;

generating, by the CDI system, a CDI score using the CDI scoring approach thus determined by the CDI system for the each patient case, the CDI score representing a significance or level of improvement over clinical documentation about each patient case;
updating, by the CDI system, each patient case stored in the database to include the CDI score; and
presenting the CDI scores for multiple ones of the plurality of patient cases on a user interface running on a computing device communicatively connected to the CDI system.
