This conference abstract highlights a strategic framework for implementing a Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) program within the Khobar Health Network, aimed at enhancing the quality, accuracy, and completeness of clinical documentation. The initiative designed to improve patient care outcomes, support data-driven decision-making, and optimize healthcare costs. In alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 healthcare transformation goals, the CDI program promotes transparency, operational efficiency, and high standards of care delivery across the network. The framework emphasizes the importance of standardized documentation practices, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the establishment of a dedicated CDI team to drive sustainable improvements. Through enhanced documentation integrity and accurate health data reporting, the program supports regulatory compliance, clinical accountability, and improved resource utilization. Despite challenges, implementing a CDI program positioned as a strategic priority. By adopting this initiative, the Khobar Health Network can serve as a national model for advancing clinical excellence and making a meaningful contribution to the Kingdom’s broader healthcare transformation agenda.
