title: Leveraging the delay in ICD-10.
abstract: With ICD-10 implementation pushed back a year until October 2015, organizations that were preparing for a 2014 start date may wonder whether they need to adjust their readiness programs. Organizations should keep moving forward in most areas of their programs to avoid losing momentum and having to repeat their efforts. Staff education is one area in which organizations may need to slow down until closer to the new deadline, given the difficulty of retaining complex information.
