The transition to ICD-10 is the most significant change to the business of healthcare in decades. So it’s no surprise that making the switch to the new coding set can at first feel overwhelming for physicians.
But practices can minimize any disruptions to operations through a combination of thorough planning, the right technology and a well-trained staff.
Sutter Health, a large not-for-profit health system in Northern California, is doing just that by getting an early start on ICD-10. The medical group plans to begin using the new coding set by May 31, so they can work out any kinks by the time the official switch comes around.
