Read Time: 1 min

ICD-10How does ICD-10 affect me?

Do you perform any of these tasks?

  • Register and/or schedule patients
  • Update the Problem List in Epic
  • Assign or enter diagnoses or diagnosis codes
  • Run reports using diagnosis codes
  • Enter orders
  • Schedule procedures
  • Look up diagnoses or diagnosis codes
  • See the Diagnosis Calculator in Epic

If you can relate to any of these scenarios, you are impacted by ICD-10.

How do I prepare?

Make sure that you, your team, and providers are ready for ICD-10 by completing this checklist:

  • ICD-10 online training via HealthStream – ICD-10 courses have been assigned to the affected staff within the network. Please visit the HealthStream site to complete your assigned training before Oct. 1. Contact Mary.Biers@khnetwork.org to include your employees in the training.
  • Epic workflow impact demonstrations (see schedule) – Come see how ICD-10 will affect your workflow in Epic, as well as meet with ICD-10 experts from the Training, Patient Access, Coding, and IS teams for additional support.
  • Compliant orders – If your department uses ICD-9 codes in the registration and/or scheduling process today, you will need to understand what changes are occurring to incorporate ICD-10 codes. Please see the documents below for support from the Patient Access team in communicating a multitude of scenarios that are occurring now for appointments and procedures scheduled on and after Oct. 1.
