More healthcare executives recognize the long-term benefits of using ICD-10-CM/PCS than a year ago, according to a new eHealth Initiative (eHI)/AHIMA survey, and plan to use the code set for quality improvement and performance measurement once it is implemented. And while the majority of respondents working in larger healthcare organizations said they are far enough along in their implementation process to conduct end-to-end testing on ICD-10 before the October 1, 2015 deadline, smaller organizations said they are less equipped to test.
A report based on the survey was released Tuesday by AHIMA and eHI that provides a look at just how prepared healthcare organizations are for the upcoming ICD-10 implementation and how they think ICD-10 will impact their operations.
Areas of focus for the survey included readiness for testing and implementation, anticipated financial, clinical, and operational impact, and the strategic implications of an expanded code set. A total of 454 healthcare representatives, mainly from hospitals and physicians practices, participated in the survey conducted in May and June 2014.
