title: Getting up to code. While some wait for vendors to save them from ICD-10, savvy CIOs are taking the reins early.
abstract: For mandates, a passing grade is good enough--don't over-do. Alert the CEO early, but wait for a plan before going to the Board. Partner with end-user departments. Don't rely on your vendor to prepare for government mandates. Utilize information from CHIME, AHIMA and peers.
