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 each patient case based at least in part on a result from the resolving;

generating a CDI score using the CDI scoring approach thus determined for each patient case, the CDI score representing a significance or level of improvement over clinical documentation about each patient case;
updating the 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.
