The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is looking for healthcare professionals to help create quality indicators (QIs) based upon ICD-10-CM/PCS code sets.

Let's forget about ICD-10 coding for a moment. Let's talk about how medical practices can make more money.

The American Medical Association (AMA) says it wants the ICD-10 implementation date delayed to Oct. 1, 2015.

To be honest, I think we're beyond arguing the merits of ICD-10-CM/PCS implementation. It's inevitable.

Healthcare providers probably will want to outsource their ICD-10 training to Goldilocks.

Dual coding made a brief appearance Monday at American Health Information Management Association's (AHIMA) 2012 ICD-10 Summit.

It's tempting to think that delaying the ICD-10 implementation deadline can't be all bad. What's wrong with giving healthcare providers some more time to implement a costly and complicated change?

Don't cancel your next ICD-10 steering committee meeting.

Canada's ICD-10-CA implementation did not go smoothly for many reasons. But healthcare professionals were able to learn from the problems and get practices and hospitals on track.

One of the things you're going to hear a lot in the next couple years is that ICD-10 is going to give healthcare providers much more data that they can use to improve patient care and efficiencies.
