In the news: House committee hears ICD-10-CM/PCS supporters

Query revision for ICD-10-CM/ PCS compliance is underway for at least 51% of those responding to a recent ACDIS poll. Of the 657 responses, 46% indicated that their facility has not embarked on a query update project, with 3% waiting until after the implementation date and 14% indicating they were holding off to see whether implementation would be delayed once again this year.

Supporters of ICD-10-CM/PCS seem optimistic about implementation’s fate following testimony before Congress’ House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee in late January.

“All the signs seem to be pointing to implementation,” says ACDIS Advisory Board member Karen Newhouser, RN, BSN, CCDS, CCS, CCM, director of CDI education for MedPartners in Tampa, Florida.
