ICD-10 Implementation
The transition to ICD-10 may present significant challenges throughout your healthcare organization, and if not properly implemented, can have an adverse impact on clinical and financial performance. With the October 1, 2013 compliance deadline looming, it is essential that you begin planning a migration strategy that will ensure a smooth transition. Dell offers consulting services to help your clinicians, business administrators, and IT staff work towards a successful ICD-10 implementation program. We deliver our ICD-10 services in three stages:
- Strategy and road mapping
- Program and project management
Implementation and training
Strategy and Roadmap: assessing the impact
The first step towards a successful ICD-10 implementation is assessing the impact on current systems, processes, policies, and procedures. Our experienced consulting team will review with you your staff’s knowledge and skills in key departments and provide education and training where necessary. We’ll also help you establish a cross-functional governance structure that will smooth the decision-making and reporting processes. In the end, we’ll deliver a complete ICD-10 strategy document that will serve as your roadmap to successful implementation.
Program and Project Planning: mapping out a successful transition
With a strategic roadmap in hand, our consulting team will develop a comprehensive project plan that documents prerequisites, dependencies, project tasks, milestones, and roles and responsibilities. The project plan will take into account budgets and resource allocation, current workflows, documentation assessments, and gap analyses. Our experienced project managers also help you develop a communications plan to monitor progress and keep the program on track.
Implementation and Training: organization-wide adoption
Our consulting team of clinicians, business administrators, and technology experts are prepared to guide you through ICD-10 implementation across your entire organization. We’ll document revised policies, procedures, and process redesigns and administer a comprehensive training program employing our industry-recognized Learning Management System (LMS). Our technology experts will perform system audits, upgrade applications as needed, and provide mapping services. We’ll stay with you until your journey to ICD-10 compliance is complete.
Count on us to be your trusted advisors throughout the process of implementation and after the compliance deadline to support your success.
