Use ICD-10 to Bring Coding Back Into Focus - M*Modal 

As the ICD-10 deadline approaches, pressure is mounting to ensure that the right resources are focused on the right tasks at the right time.

Organizations should match their strategic needs, and performance/compliance requirements, to staffing resource capabilities and capacity. This involves considering direct and indirect dependencies on coding workflows, and determining the current and future demands of HIM and revenue cycle initiatives (i.e., CDI, ICD-10) and their ramifications on resource selection.
