]]> Comment on Seizing the Opportunity in the ICD-10 Delay by Darren Carter, MD http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2012/02/22/seizing-the-opportunity-in-the-icd-10-delay/comment-page-1/#comment-178355 Darren Carter, MD Wed, 22 Feb 2012 22:50:47 +0000 http://thehealthcareblog.com/?p=38591#comment-178355 I totally agree that the documentation improvement is the perfect way to bring along all aspects of the organization into preparedness for ICD-10 implementation. This also highlights the startling disconnect in the AMA-spurred CMS decision. ICD-10 preparation is the perfect "grease on the wheels" for EMR and quality initiatives via documentation improvement. Separating them just multiplies headaches.

We'll see if the groups can all work together towards the common goal of improving our health care system. The intention behind setting up the groups is good.

This is about the disastrous PCMH scam, which primary care docs voluntarily inflicted on themselves, and subsequently sold to insurers and government agencies.

When does the Selfishness, Arrogance, and Denial show what it is, just plain SAD? My only agenda is helping others help themselves to better and sustained good health, I gain nothing personally or financially in fighting the implementation of this law. Well, I do gain back my autonomy, but who wouldn't want that?

I'm interested in your insights on how the thousands of stand-alone data systems & requirements for fed, state, county and other payors will ever become integrated in a way that a healthcare org. with programs in many localities can comply with reporting requirements for each and every contract utilizing a single entry data system. Right now it's nowhere near possible. Excellent article, thank you.

The benificiary has no skin in the game, so they gorge at the trough. These are not poor starving people. These are people playing the good-hearted tax payors for suckers. But they all vote.
