1. The guidance suggests providers establish a feedback system for reviewing clinical documentation and code selection processes, system problems and payer complications.
2. Providers should then strategize on how to share observations and progress about the ICD-10 transition.
3. The infographic emphasizes providers “assess, address and maintain their progress” with ICD-10 implementation.
4. CMS suggests providers review clinical documentation from before and after ICD-10 implementation, which will offer insight on how to choose diagnosis codes and apply guidelines.
5. Organizations should also choose a group of physicians to be ICD-10 experts, who other staff members may seek with questions.
