Overview

This Solution Provider Webinar is brought to you by DIA in cooperation with
United BioSource Corporation

Duration Time: 1 hour 1 minute

U.S. health care providers are now required to use the ICD-10-CM version of the World Health Organization’s classification of diseases. The updated coding scheme offers more specific diagnoses and improved documentation, reflected in the substantial increase in the number (71%) and complexity of disease and procedure codes over ICD-9-CM. The increased complexity has resulted in few 1:1 direct mappings of codes between the two versions (less than 5%), creating a significant analytic challenge for medical researchers using observational healthcare data. This webinar will educate the audience on the significant enhancements with ICD-10, providing practical solutions for researchers to consider for integrating ICD-10 codes into their cohort and outcome definitions using real-life examples.
