While some are looking for another bill to derail the ICD-10 adoption, the majority of healthcare providers (hospitals and, yes, physicians) are frustrated with any suggestion of a delay, given all the time, energy, and resources that have been devoted to preparation over the last ten years. Health providers seized the opportunity to embrace technology, and improve performance under ICD-9 while they pulled together their strategies and planned all of the details to successfully implement ICD-10-CM and PCS, from driving quality improvement via physician engagement and education to implementing and fine-tuning clinically documentation improvement programs throughout the continuum of care and, of course, coder education. But you know what they say about all work and no play, so as we buckle down in preparation for the ICD-10 transition, it is important to remember to leave some time for fun! And what better way to stimulate your senses then a little ICD-10 trivia. So test your wit and wisdom with your friends by playing a little ICD-10 Jeopardy!
