ICD-10 involves a more complex and detailed set of codes and its implementation will have a huge impact on the healthcare industry. It'll permit the patients' medical information to be captured in greater detail. This means an overall enhancement in health care practices because of improved diagnostic procedures and disease management. It may lead to a vast improvement in quality patient care. This also means better claim processing because the new set of codes are a lot more detailed than the current ICD-9 codes in use. But this also means that healthcare organizations, however big or small, will have to train their personnel so they're ready to tackle the new codes when they take effect in October. Several institutes such as CareerStep offer comprehensive training courses specifically designed for professional coders to facilitate the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10.
