The CCDS-O exam — full name Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist-Outpatient — is ACDIS's certification exam for professionals working with its technologies; passing it awards the Clinical Documentation Specialist certification. It is the kind of vendor-issued proof employers can compare across candidates, which is exactly why it stays in demand. It also leads naturally toward CCDS.
