Week 5 discussion
DQ1 Visit the following website http://www.nuemd.com/icd-10/codes
and search for “diseases” (for example, infection). Discuss what word you
searched for and what was returned. Were there challenges you noticed with the
specificity of your search keyword? What did you learn and how would you
approach a different search or guide a colleague in future searches?
DQ2 Examine the need to switch to ICD-10; explore challenges
that healthcare organizations are facing in doing so. What have they done to
overcome those challenges? Provide suggestions for future institutions that
desire to switch to ICD-10.
