CMS' Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced model will qualify as an Advanced Alternative Payment Model under the Quality Payment Program and include outpatient episodes.
In May, we expect to see the release of the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Edition, for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics (ICD-11-MMS) by the World Health Organization. Work will then begin in the U.S. to adapt it for our clinical use as ICD-11-CM. Hopefully, with the benefit of foresight and lessons learned from the past, we will not reenact the pain we all had with the ICD-10-CM/PCS implementation.
