ICD10Portal - ICD10 Crosswalk Engine Anytime Anywhere with Dedicated Social Network
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has mandated the replacement of the ICD-9-CM code sets used by medical coders and billers to report diagnoses and procedures with ICD-10 code sets. ICD-9-CM stands for International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition, Clinical Modifications.
The ICD-9 to ICD-10 conversion in health and financial IT is estimated to cost much more than the Y2K conversion on impact, effort and necessary investment. Y2K impacts primarily technology, while ICD-10 goes beyond technology to impact workflows, policies, procedures,
data conversions, education, training and more.
ICD10Portal, an Android portal with an ICD-10 crosswalk engine and a dedicated social network, is designed for medical, health, and insurance industries. The federal compliance date for the implementation of ICD-10 is October 1, 2013 for all medical (e.g., hospitals) and insurance enterprises (e.g., health plans) in the United States. ICD-10 code sets must replace the ICD-9-CM code sets by then
in all health care settings. As a result, CIOs in related industries must act now. In addition, studies have found that ICD-10 conversions cannot be fully automated. In other words, skipping a human review of converted systems exposes an organization to legal and financial risk (American Health Information Management Association Journal Article, June 2011).
How to enable and verify accurate ICD-10 conversions anytime anywhere? ICD10Portal offers automatic-conversion and human-review solutions with Android devices and Web services, specifically by: What is the incremental value of ICD10Portal for National Cancer Institute (NCI)?
ICD-9-CM code sets are widely used in many aspects of the Cancer Control Continuum including cancel prevention, control, diagnosis and treatment. At present, NCI uses a time-consuming process to convert cancer-related ICD codes, which is a subset of the ICD codes handled by ICD10Portal. NCI users look through two PDF files provided by the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program (About) to manually crosswalk the cancer-related codes.
For example, they click this link to manually search specific codes for ICD-9-CM to ICD-10 conversions; and
this file to manually search codes for ICD-10 to ICD-9-CM conversions.
ICD10Portal will enable the conversions automatically for cancer-related codes anytime anywhere. This is faster, accurate, more productive, effective, efficient and convenient.
Therefore, comparing to the manual conversion process, ICD10Portal enables cost saving, minimizes lack-of-human-review risk, and improves user satisfaction for medical coders and billers. Email: info@yeswici.com
