Claire I think the issues of 'ease of use of ICD 10' will be well beyond what any EMR will be able to deliver even our own AC. Will it matter payment wise if we code Left and it was Right?; if we code 'initial' injury and it was subsequent?, or resolved?
How many mouse clicks will it take to get the correct shoulder pain ICD 10 code when now I just code 719.41 hence the real issue is will there be dumned down listing of codes that will get past the payers requirements to authorize payment? No answers just questions and no desire to sign up for ICD 10 college.
