What is the Financial Burden?

By |February 12th, 2013

Many are concerned about the financial burden that the ICD-10 implementation might create for healthcare providers. However, there are some ways the physicians can improve the clinical documentation and therefore the coding reimbursements. Being creatures of habit, they have tended to rely on memorized codes. If the reliance on memorization is minimized, reimbursements can improve. There are more anatomic specific codes in the new system, and that makes memorization even more difficult.

Inverted Files, Parsing, Discovery, and Clustering

By |February 11th, 2013

So, what we have is the inverted file – that big alphabetical list of all the terms and where they came from – and a way to combine them. At the end of the day, no matter which direction you come from on the high end and even higher presentation levels, you are depending on these two to make it work. If you add that taxonomy to that, you are strengthening the use of your terms.

By |February 7th, 2013

Unstructured data is becoming more prevalent, and few organizations aren’t struggling with how to handle this growing problem. Microsoft’s SharePoint document repository was designed to provide content collaboration and version control, but unfortunately, as the number of users increases, so does the amount of data that is stored in SharePoint.

Computers Can’t Replace Training

By |February 6th, 2013

Computer assisted indexing can be a huge help in building a solid information architecture. We know that. We live that. However, it doesn't solve all the problems. You still need solid medical coding training to face the challenges that will come with the ICD-10 coding classification transition.
