Because of the increase in the number of codes from approximately 17,000 to 140,000 and the focus on standard medical terminology, the use of an EHR/EMR will be required for hospitals and physicians. The use of an EHR/EMR will necessitate a radical change in clinical documentation. How well providers implement this technology will influence the quality of data sent to payers and the ability of payers to reconcile premiums and determine medical loss ratios using ICD-10 codes. This module will assist payers and providers in understanding how to collaborate in the selection and implemention of an EHR/EMR using best practices to minimize risk.
