Abstract

Introduction The mandated conversion to ICD-10 is immediately on the horizon. Methods The history, rationale, costs and benefits of, and opposition to the new coding system are presented. Results Successful implementation requires a teamwork approach. Billing and coding systems that are in place must be thoroughly assessed. Conversion is expensive and a budget must be created. Training is a crucial part of moving forward and a test period is needed after training is complete. Conclusions ICD-10 has arrived and adopting it is the only option.
