How a Full-Scale ICD-10 Test Helped Flag Transition Issues
October 28, 11:09 AM
The idea of performing a full-scale ICD-10 transition simulation may seem like a daunting prospect to many healthcare organizations that are still trying to get their impact assessments completed. But for a handful of Cerner clients, the beginning of October wasn’t about panicking that there is less than a year until the big switch. It was an opportunity to participate in a comprehensive, week-long mock ICD-10 transition that allowed the organizations to pinpoint potential trouble spots, refine workflows, improve documentation, and get answers to pressing transition questions.

How to inoculate ICD-10 coding from another delay
Posted on Wed, Apr 09, 2014 - 08:00 am
Let's be honest. We shouldn't be surprised that an ICD-10 delay became law. It's a concept that is easier to hate than embrace.
The ICD-10 upgrade will be expensive, it's hard to explain without boring people, and a lot of the codes are used as punchlines by politicians. So you can understand why no politician stood up and defended ICD-10 coding as a standard during the debate over the “Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014” debate.

ICD-10: Why it never really would have stopped Ebola from getting to the U.S.

I'm all for finding ways to use ICD-10 codes to solve the world's problems. But I'm not sure it's the right tool for the fight against Ebola.

Recovering from ICD-10 Delay Requires Planning and Engagement
Author Jennifer Bresnick | Date October 29, 2014
The ICD-10 delay may have knocked the wind out of a number of healthcare organizations who had been preparing for an October 1, 2014 deadline, but now that a new date has been set for 2015, it’s time to start picking up the pieces and getting back on track. With less than a year to go, the majority of providers still have a great deal of work to do in order to prepare for the new code set, and must retool their roadmaps to meet the challenges ahead.
From reinvesting in infrastructure to mitigating the potential financial impacts of denied claims, how can providers ensure that they are ready for the ICD-10 switch? Summer Scott Humphreys, Executive Consultant for Beacon Partners, sat down with EHRintelligence to discuss some of the actionable steps providers should be taking as the clock ticks down to October 1, 2015.

Examining the Basics of the Health Care Revenue Cycle
Author Name Ryan McAskill
Date October 28, 2014
The health care revenue cycle is more than just collecting bills and is a pillar of a successful organization.
There are a number of different processes that go into running a successful health care organization. However, regardless of whether you are a multi-location hospital network spread across the country or a private practice of one doctor and one nurse, revenue cycle management is one of the most critical processes that organizations need to master to be successful.
Revenue cycle management (RCM) is the process that handles claims processing, payment and revenue generation. In the simplest terms, it is a health care organization’s financial circulatory system. It is all administrative and clinical functions that contribute to the capture, management and collection of patient service revenue. It is the entire life of a patient account.

What’s Ahead for Healthcare CIOs at the CHIME Fall Forum?
Author Kyle Murphy, PhD | Date October 28, 2014
A brief look at the track sessions that should provide notable insight into the EHR, HIT, and other needs of healthcare CIOs at CHIME14.
Many healthcare CIOs were likely heading into this year’s CHIME14 CIO Fall Forum with the belief that their organizations would be reasonably well advanced in their efforts to achieving Stage 2 Meaningful Use and ICD-10 compliance. However, several forces have conspired to make those two initiatives competitors for resources now in 2015 rather than 2014.
Along with these EHR- and coding-related programs, healthcare organizations and their CIOs are engaged in various other initiatives to prepare themselves for reimbursement shifts from volume to value — that is, fee-for-service to value-based reimbursement — as well as numerous quality reporting requirements.

Is IT’s Luster Lost on Doctors?
by Kendra Casey Plank
The American Medical Association isn’t pulling punches when it comes to EHRs and other technologies the federal government is pushing in the name of improving patient care and cutting costs.
The group’s criticisms of the meaningful use program and its predecessor, the Medicare electronic prescribing initiative, aren’t new, but they’ve been getting new life in recent weeks as the AMA puts renewed pressure on lawmakers and regulators to scale back requirements that doctors use EHRs and other technologies in prescribed ways.
