 Reasons for Change & Cost Benefit Analysis   Comparing ICD-9-CM and ICD-10   Steps to ICD-10   Timeline and Implementation Phase  How to Survive and Ensure Smooth Transition

 No longer meet the demands of healthcare’s data needs  Cannot accurately describe the diagnoses and inpatient procedures for care delivered  Coded data is well beyond the purposes of ICD-9-CM  Greater need for coding accuracy and specificity  ICD-9-CM initially was not used for reimbursement purposes  ICD-9-CM procedures are outdated and inadequate  ICD-9-CM cannot support many of the IT and data exchange initiatives.

 More accurate reimbursement for new procedures  Fewer rejected claims  Fewer fraudulent claims  Better understanding of new procedures  Improved disease management  Quality measures and medical error reduction (Patient safety)
