The document outlines the ICD-10 implementation process which includes 4 phases: 1) Developing an implementation plan and assessing impacts, 2) Preparing for implementation through training, testing, and system changes, 3) Preparing for the go-live date through final testing and training, and 4) Following up after go-live to monitor outcomes, provide additional training, and resolve issues. The Federal Government has mandated compliance to the new ICD-10 codes by October 1, 2014, representing a significant improvement over ICD-9 but requiring a well-managed implementation across healthcare organizations.
