title: Will you be ready for ICD-10 conversion?
abstract: In less than two years, the United States will convert to ICD-10, which will result in major changes in coding requirements. Much more detailed documentation will be needed for the coders to do their job correctly. Every department in the hospital that uses data will be affected. Case management software must be adjusted to accommodate the expanded fields. Case managers don't need extensive training on the new codes, but they do need to be aware of the documentation requirements.
