Did we learn anything from the last revision of the ICD code?
Through historical research and data collection, it was determined that the previous transition from the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), Ninth Revision (ICD-9) to the ICD Tenth Revision (ICD-10) was impeded by an overall lack of education, training, and communication. This research study assesses current knowledge and preparedness for the ICD-11 transition through a survey administered to ten healthcare professional participants. Results reveal a deficiency in understanding and supporting the need for a comprehensive and consistent training program administered by a governing agency, such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
