The AMA’s sometimes contradictory but evolving stance on ICD-10 | Government Health IT

I must confess I was shocked last week. Not by a ghost or Halloween monster ringing by door bell. But by the American Medical Association (AMA).



Yes, the AMA is usually considered scary by ICD-10 advocates. But they pleasantly startled me with a bit of relative whimsy by publishing ICD-10 examples of injuries sustained during Halloween activities — including being bitten by a vampire.



It wasn't all whimsy, of course, because half the post was used to explain the many ways AMA opposes ICD-10 implementation because of the cost, right alongside a pitch to buy AMA ICD-10 resources.
