Nash Health Care's Ken Kilmer: Use ICD-10 testing to avoid chaos

October 28, 2014 | By Dan Bowman



For Ken Kilmer, ICD-10 project manager at Rocky Mount, North Carolina-based Nash Health Care System, conducting a weeklong mock ICD-10 transition earlier this month was all about avoiding chaos in 2015.



"The goal for this plan was to make sure that we knew what to do the night of activation, so that even if in the next year we had some staff turnover and there were some new people coming in that needed to do these tasks, we had enough detail in our plan that they would know how to execute the work that needs to be done," Kilmer told FierceHealthIT. "It was a real opportunity for us to make sure we don't have a lot of discord when we make that transition for real a year from now."
