AHIMA updates ICD-10 tools
The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) has updated its ICD-10 tools with a Top 10 List for Phase 1 ICD-10-CM/PCS Implementation Plan Development and Impact Assessment.
The list outlines tasks to help facilitate this process. It is intended to highlight key areas and to be used in tandem with the more complete ICD-10 Preparation Checklist, which serves as a general guide through each phase of preparation, according to AHIMA.
The list includes key tasks that must be done in Phase 1 of implementation, but steps are not necessarily listed in the order of completion.
1. Ensure organizational awareness
2. Establish executive leadership
3. Perform impact assessment
4. Conduct systems inventory
5. Complete gap analysis
6. Establish internal timeline
7. Determine a training plan
8. Prepare multi-year ICD-10 implementation budget
9. Manage contractual changes
10. Correlate continued organization management of Version 5010 implementation processes and planning
A Top 10 List for Phase 2 ICD-10-CM/PCS implementation preparation will be developed to complement the ICD-10 preparation checklist, AHIMA stated.
