The road to ICD-10 has been a long one, and we still have many miles ahead of us. Organizations have invested a significant amount of time and money into this venture, and even though October 1 is rapidly approaching, there’s still work to be done before and after implementation.
The U.S. healthcare system is and will continue to be dependent on clinical codes and is thus equally dependent on accurate and complete clinical documentation.
Medical Records Briefing (MRB) recently asked HIM, clinical documentation improvement (CDI), and coding professionals about their ICD-10 implementation efforts for our first quarterly benchmarking survey of the year.
Our experts answer questions on port reassessment, laparoscopies, reporting multiple biopsies, rejected drug claims, post-reduction film, nipple revisions, and more.
