The Collision of Two Worlds in an ICD-10 Universe

Recently I had the privilege of attending the National Association of Healthcare Quality’s Annual Educational Conference in Nashville, Tenn. Not surprisingly, I found myself sitting in on the presentation titled “Making Sense of your Data After ACA and ICD-10.”As a health information management (HIM) professional working in multiple settings, including clinical documentation and ICD-10, I understand and am quite passionate about the overlap between data integrity and quality outcome reporting. I was very interested in what would be presented from “the other side of the fence,” which we refer to in the HIM world as “the quality world.” The session was presented well and was extremely informational; however, I walked away with a gnawing feeling of unrest that there still exists too much separation of these two worlds.
