Health information managers and a CMIO who looked at a SearchHealthIT-CHIME survey of more than 300 healthcare groups said the biggest surprise is the lack of ICD-10 readiness.
Healthcare information and technology specialists who looked at a survey on the impact of the ICD-10 delay found it interesting how many healthcare organizations still aren't ready for the new coding system six months after Congress postponed its introduction until late 2015.
A key finding of the summer 2014 SearchHealthIT survey of more than 300 healthcare organizations -- conducted with the College of Healthcare Management Executives (CHIME) -- was that only 10.7% of the respondents said they were fully ready for ICD-10, though a total of 71.8% reported they were in various states of ICD-10 readiness.
