This post celebrates the ICD-10 PlayBook’s 1st birthday!
One year ago on May 25, 2011, we launched the ICD-10 PlayBook at the HIMSS G7 with the support and collaboration of the many participants, Medical Banking and Financial Systems Committee and ICD-10 Task Force. Our goal was to create relevant and impactful content stakeholders need for this sea of change in healthcare transformation.
We thank you for making the ICD-10 PlayBook your reliable, “go to” resource and for keeping it “top of mind” as you educate your clients, staff, members and constituents.
To celebrate your accomplishments, please help us with the following:
1) Send emails to your staff, members and clients to encourage them to use the ICD-10 PlayBook so they can begin to get ready “NOW.”
