Why your CDI Team Should Attend: ICD-9-CM (International Classification of Disease, 9th Clinical Modification) has been the only diagnostic coding system most of us have ever known. In fact, the last clinical took place more than 35 years ago. With the conversion to ICD-10-CM set to take effect October 1, 2014 the time is now to educate both providers and staff involved with revenue cycle functions of the considerable changes in the structure of ICD-10-CM and the “explosion” of codes to manage. Three to five (3-5) digit codes are replaced with three to seven (3-7) digit codes and the 13,000 codes in ICD-9-CM will be replaced with the more than 68,000 codes in ICD-10-CM.
With a good understanding of the coding conventions and some careful consideration during the documentation and coding processes, ICD-10-CM can be successfully managed but only with buy in from the top down. Solid documentation will be critical!
This workshop is meant for team attendance - your hospital CDI team should include at least:
1 physician, 1 nurse, HIM Director, coder, QI Director, other hospital staff involved in clinical documentation and/or revenue cycle functions
