Because Abu Dhabi continues to use version ICD-9, it has difficulty comparing its health service utilization to other countries.

ICD-9-CM Limitations Space limitations
Codes have already been assigned to inappropriate sections
Leads to challenges for coders Workarounds
Use of ‘overflow’ chapters compromise the structure of ICD-9-CM
Emerging technologyNot expandable nor detailed enough to capture
future healthcare information
6
Why ICD-10?? Significant improvement in coding primary care
encounters, external causes of injury, mental disorders, neoplasms, and preventative health
Recognition of advances in medicine and technology More detail Addition of laterality (where the procedure or
disease is located) Expanded distinctions for ambulatory and managed
care encounters
7
Highlights In the US as of 2014 ICD-10-CM (Diagnosis)
Will affect inpatient and outpatient
ICD-10-PCS ( Procedures) Will only affect
inpatient We have CPT for
outpatient reimbursement
ICD-10-CM/PCS:• Incorporates much greater
specificity and clinical information, which results in:
Improved ability to measure health care services;
• Increased sensitivity when refining grouping and reimbursement methodologies;
• Enhanced ability to conduct public health surveillance; and
• Decreased need to include supporting documentation with claims;
• Includes updated medical terminology and classification of diseases;

Highlights
In the US as of 2014 All software will be ICD 10
based All certified coders will be
ICD 10 based All RVU’s will be ICD 10
based ICD 9 CM will no longer be
updated after 2012
ICD-10-CM/PCS:• Provides codes to allow
comparison of mortality and morbidity data; and
• Provides better data for:• Measuring care furnished to
patients;• Designing payment systems;• Processing claims;• Providers making clinical
decisions;• Tracking public health;• Identifying fraud and abuse;
and• Conducting research.
A revised classification system that: permits international exchange of data for disease
prevention & advanced healthcare research; increases value of current clinical terminologies and
permits greater use of health information technology to improve our health knowledge and decision support while lowering the cost of healthcare.
gives more specificity to Payers to reduce denials due to lack of information
Why Upgrade to ICD 10 CM?
Upgrade to ICD 10 CMDSP 184CCSC 092
Amend decision to: Implement ICD 10 CM one year after Implementation in the USA
Implement ICD 10 CM as the Code Set for Diagnostic coding one year after implementation the USA (which presently means as of Encounter.Start >=1 Oct 2015), contingent on availability of DRG grouper for pricing minimum 12 months prior to the implementation date. Request DRG panel to confirm the timeframe.
Daman: to establish and negotiate prices Payers and Providers will need at least on year after the DRG grouper is available for pricing (not for testing)

Patient is discharged with principal diagnosis of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, commonly known as a stroke.
Patient Case Scenario 1: Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
In ICD-9-CM there is one code: 430 Subarachnoid hemorrhage
In ICD-10-CM - twenty possible codes requiring detail of which artery the hemorrhage came from for accurate code assignment.
right and left carotid siphon and bifurcation; right and left middle cerebral; right and left anterior communicating;right and left posterior communicating; basilar; right and left vertebral; and other or unspecified intracranial arteries.
A patient is treated for fracture of the patella to assign an accurate code, sixth and seventh characters are needed in ICD-10-CM.
Patient Case Scenario 2: Fracture of the Patella
ICD-9-CM 822.0 - Fracture of patella, closed
ICD-10-CM S82.021D - Fracture of patella, displaced longitudinal, right patella - subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
Timeline
Make Your Plan to ICD 10 CM Phase 1: Implementation plan development and potential impact
assessments Establish interdisciplinary steering committee to develop ICD 10 ‐
implementation strategy Development of potential impact assessments
Phase 2: Implementation preparation Training/awareness on Codes and Code uses (data etc) Education on the available GEM and how to use
Phase 3: “Go live” preparation Contracts
Impact assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to anticipate who or what will be affected by the transition to ICD-10-CM while determining the degree of impact.
An implementation budget must be created to address the costs associated with upgrading technology and training as well as the potential loss of productivity, which can delay remittance.
A systems inventory is necessary to identify systems requiring modifications All processes and systems that pertain to ICD codes need to
be analyzed and modified to accommodate the expanded alpha-numeric code structure of ICD-10.

Training: More intense training regarding the specifics of the code set will be required for those who use coded data for the purpose of reimbursement, statistics, and/or research. Ahima estimates the training time for experienced
codes to be 16 hours with 10 hours practice) And we mustn’t forget the Documentation Training
required for doctors.

GEMs and the multiple uses of these GEMs – Maps are created for many purposes, (exchange of
data for patient care purposes, access to longitudinal data, reimbursement, public health data reporting, and KEH.
Correct mapping requires a complete understanding of how data will be used. Even though standardized mappings will facilitate the process
of translating between the old and new code sets, there will still be challenges connecting data coded under

• ICD-9-CM to data coded under ICD-10-CM due to the differences in the code sets. This will impact reports that compile statistical data for trend analysis.
