Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook is the only guide published in collaboration with the Central Office on ICD-9-CM of the American Hospital Association (AHA). The Central Office is an official industry body that participates in the editorial development, preliminary testing, and national committee and congressional hearings on ICD-9 and ICD-10 specifications and rules. Central Office staff are the nations experts on coding protocols and prepare two official publications in addition to the coding handbook: AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM and ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting. The ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook helps coders understand the basic principles behind the classification system so they can apply the official coding advice provided by the Central Office publications. The Handbook has been used as the premiere coding textbook in the United States, and has been translated into several languages including Chinese, Italian and Spanish. The Handbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the three volumes of ICD-9-CM. Chapters 1-8 provide discussions of the format, conventions and current coding practices for ICD-9-CM as well as basic coding guidelines and introductory materials on the V and E supplementary classification codes. The remaining chapters work from the less complicated to those that are more difficult. Academic or in-service training faculty can easily arrange their course outlines around Handbook chapters. The Handbook provides more than 100 review exercises interspersed throughout the text and at the end of the chapters. These exercises describe additional information about a patients background or present condition, and allow coders to practice their coding skills on examples that closely resemble actual patient records. Each Handbooks appendix contains official guidelines for coding and reporting. Exclusive ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Additions This 2007 edition contains information on the development and field testing, as well as the structure, format, and conventions of upcoming ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding. It also identifies action checklists, reference resources and strategic implementation issues health information management professionals and provider organizations should consider as they transition from the ICD-9 to ICD-10 system. The first edition of the ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook was developed by the AHAs Central Office on ICD-9-CM staff and published in 1979. Faye Brown, in cooperation with the AHAs Central Office on ICD-9-CM, authored and revised subsequent editions. Since 2003, annual revisions to the Handbook have been done by AHA Central Office on ICD-9-CM staff.

A systematic approach outlines basic concepts and walks you through the complete coding process using all three volumes of the ICD-9-CM. A full-color design makes anatomy and physiology stand out and provides visual reinforcement of key content. ICD-9-CM guidelines open each coding chapter, with examples that clearly demonstrate their real-world applications. Learning objectives help you study more effectively. Abbreviations are clearly defined at the beginning of each chapter for quick reference. Problem-solving exercises throughout each chapter provide valuable practice using key coding principles as you learn them.

Download or read book Improving Diagnosis in Health Care written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.

Download or read book Transition to Diagnosis Related Group DRG Payments for Health written by Caryn Bredenkamp and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how nine different health systems--U.S. Medicare, Australia, Thailand, Kyrgyz Republic, Germany, Estonia, Croatia, China (Beijing) and the Russian Federation--have transitioned to using case-based payments, and especially diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), as part of their provider payment mix for hospital care. It sheds light on why particular technical design choices were made, what enabling investments were pertinent, and what broader political and institutional issues needed to be considered. The strategies used to phase in DRG payment receive special attention. These nine systems have been selected because they represent a variety of different approaches and experiences in DRG transition. They include the innovators who pioneered DRG payment systems (namely the United States and Australia), mature systems (such as Thailand, Germany, and Estonia), and countries where DRG payments were only introduced within the past decade (such as the Russian Federation and China). Each system is examined in detail as a separate case study, with a synthesis distilling the cross-cutting lessons learned. This book should be helpful to those working on health systems that are considering introducing, or are in the early stages of introducing, DRG-based payments into their provider payment mix. It will enhance the reader's understanding of how other countries (or systems) have made that transition, give a sense of the decisions that lie ahead, and offer options that can be considered. It will also be useful to those working in health systems that already include DRG payments in the payment mix but have not yet achieved the anticipated results.
