Plan ahead for ICD-10: Because coding will be more complex when ICD-10 takes effect, you want staff that is not the only current on coding, but understands the increased level of detail required by physicians; physician education is equally as important to ensure all necessary details are provided within the physician’s operative reports. Inquire with your software vendor to make sure they are ready for the conversion. Because hiccups are likely to occur, consider opening a bank line of credit.
ICD10 was implemented a year and a half ago.
