New Study Illuminates the Ongoing Road to ICD-10 Productivity and Optimization

摘要

TO QUANTIFY THE impact of ICD-10-CM/PCS (ICD-10) on coding productivity, Ciox Health, in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Health Information Management, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, conducted a previous study published in the August 2016 issue of the Journal of AHIMA on ICD-10 inpatient coding productivity, and examined average inpatient coding times using a total of 157,248 cases discharged from October 2015 to February 2016. Through this study, Ciox's goal was to create realistic and dynamic productivity expectations for better management of coding operations.
