Company presentation for Saturn Electronics Corporation, bare printed circuit board manufacturer. Presentation focuses on the companys PCB Manufacturing Equipment, Capabilities, and Expertise.
Ben Quirk spoke to the South Florida medical group community about the impact of ICD-10 on the healthcare industry. It was a very informative talk that covered a lot of need-to-know details, including how ICD-10 relates to Meaningful Use and SNOMED.
ICD-10 is an unknown terrain that the country is going toward. No one knows what to expect. Some expect productivity to decrease by as much as 50% due to its implementation. Some predict this new system will result in a shortage of coders. Is any of this true? This presentation will investigate the impacts – both foreseen and unforeseen – that ICD-10 implementation will have on radiology billing companies and radiology groups.

The recent extension of the ICD-10 deadline was greeted with mixed reactions throughout the healthcare industry. Some favored an extension, while others preferred to move ahead with the change. In this webinar, we look at the pros and cons of the delay and how it will affect providers and patients. Reactions from other vendors are also presented.

Icd 10 remediation for provider practices – key challenges and mitigation str...Apoorv S
On October 1, 2014, the U.S. healthcare system will transition from the Ninth Edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) set of diagnosis and inpatient procedure codes to the Tenth Edition of those code sets (ICD-10). Provider systems are impacted across the value chain due to ICD-10 remediation and significant changes are required across the value chain and provider business functions. This article focuses on the key challenges being faced by providers in their ICD-10 remediation journey and the mitigation approaches that providers can adopt to address them.
ICD-10 Implementation for Physicians WhitepaperMarie Bunch
Many providers are operating with blinders on, completely unaware of the magnitude of the conversion and potential train wreck ahead for their reimbursement. Support your physicians through the difficult change ahead by helping them take the right steps forward to make their transition as efficient and painless as possible.
Regardless of the size of the practice, training for any implementation – especially for one as complex and far reaching as ICD-10 – can be costly and difficult to deliver. With only a year remaining to complete the transition, providers and their staff must step up to planning, training, software/system upgrades/replacements, as well as other necessary investments. ICD-10 will require a significant education investment in order to ensure accurate coding and minimize productivity loss. While large organizations may have the resources to purchase training materials or send staff to training sessions, smaller organizations may have to depend on special societies or share resources to provide the needed training.
Start the conversation with your physicians now. Help them through the transition with resources designed to get them on board with the transition now. Practice Management Institute® (PMI) is already helping practices adapt to the change with classes especially focused on the transition steps for medical offices, hosted by leading hospitals across the country. PMI’s Professional Services Department and Faculty Team is committed to providing the most up-to-date information on implementation guidelines, coding conversion steps and staff training fulfillment.
