ICD-10 Compliance Delayed by HHS

February 16, 2012

After hearing the concerns from American Medical Association (AMA) and many others in the provider community, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced the delay of ICD-10 compliance, according to a recent news release. Of the delay, HHS Secretary Kathryn Sebelius stated, “ICD-10 codes are important to many positive improvements in our health care system. We have heard from many in the provider community who have concerns about the administrative burdens they face in the years ahead. We are committing to work with the provider community to reexamine the pace at which HHS and the nation implement these important improvements to our health care system.”

HHS and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will now go through a formal rulemaking process to determine the new compliance date.

In addition, the Interoperability Showcase offers a series of events, activities and health IT solutions. These include:

  • Community of Care tours allow Showcase attendees to view care settings from the perspective of a patient as they visit multiple health service providers. Each use case will walk the attendee through the patient experience and display a seamless electronic exchange of patient information- application to application, system to system and setting to setting.

  • The Showcase Theater will provide educational presentations from more than 30 industry leaders covering a range of topics including interoperability, IHE, lessons learned and real-world success stories.

  • The HIMSS Live Exchange Theater will feature live clinical information systems demonstrated by healthcare providers who use systems grounded in IHE and other standards recognized by the Office of the National Coordinator Office of Standards and Interoperability.

“CPSI will be part of the interactive exhibit during the HIMSS12 Interoperability Showcase where we can reach out to the healthcare community and connect with key audiences as well as current and new customers,” says Scott Schneider, Senior Vice President. “This is a great way for us to help healthcare providers and others identify the right solution for their healthcare setting.”

The Interoperability Showcase will be open Tuesday-Thursday.
