INTELLIGENT DIVISION OF LABOR APPROACH FOR THE ICD 10 CONVERSION
Speaker: Ellen Fitzpatrick, Senior Product Marketing Manager, AthenaHealth
Description: If the ANSI 5010 transition was rough just wait until ICD-10! The ICD-10 conversion requires work that must be coordinated among payers, PMIS and EHR vendors, and healthcare organizations. Join our discussion - with representatives from a hospital system and a vendor – where we will outline a proactive “divide and conquer” or “co-sourcing” approach to managing the ICD-10 conversions. We will also outline the key ICD-10 tasks and discuss opportunities where practices and hospitals can leverage vendors or payers in a way that reduces work. This exercise can also highlight areas of organizational risk and serve as a starting point for ICD-10 resource planning and risk mitigation strategies.
