Fast-Tracking ICD-10 Implementation

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a first in a series of articles on fast-tracking ICD-10 implementation.

Currently, not everyone is getting ready for ICD-10.

Some hospital systems still are calling to get quotes and proposals for their preparatory work. I can understand this strategy being employed by critical-access hospitals and rural health systems, since finances are tight and other competing projects have to be completed first – but most of the hospitals contacting me are the larger ones.
