| March 15, 2012 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM | TELUS Health Solutions: Real-Life Strategies for a Successful ICD-10 Implementation |
This presentation will explore the key strategies and tactics to plan and prepare for their ICD-10 implementation. It will discuss the necessary interdependencies and pre-requisites that will impact project plan timelines throughout 2012 and 2013, focusing on the unique training needs for HIM staff, physicians and other clinical staff, assessment of current state of clinical documentation, and case mix modeling and analysis to identify and quantify the level of impact of ICD-10 on financial indicators and revenue impact.
The presentation will use the case study of Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC), a large university medical center, located in Hackensack, NJ. In Fall 2011, TELUS Health Solutions (THS) was engaged by the Health Information Management (HI) Department at HUMC to conduct an ICD-10 Assessment and Advisory Services project, including a Clinical Documentation Assessment. The presenters will use the key findings and recommendations from this engagement to illustrate the ICD-10 implementation planning strategies.
