The importance of being prepared for the ICD-10 conversion is becoming more critical each day. An ICD-10 preparation and readiness plan should be in progress for any organization that is involved in health care. While a "one size fits all" approach isn't appropriate for all businesses, an ICD-10 Readiness Assessment can ascertain your exact needs. An assessment specifically designed to identify and categorize all your processes, systems and data that will be impacted by the transition. An inventory of information technology systems, applications, interfaces and data sources to identify the impact of the new code sets and structure. This initial assessment provides the data needed to design a strategic plan to be put into place to prepare for the technology components of the ICD-10 implementation. Utilizing an advisory service can be the most cost-effective and efficient method of assessing where your business stands in readiness for meeting the ICD-10 rules and regulations.
