An Explosion of Codes with ICD-10

"With ICD-10 we're going to see an explosion of codes," says Sandeep Wadhwa, MD, CMO and VP of Coding and Reimbursement, 3M Health Information Systems. "This explosion of codes will create a lot more complexity in the documentation process. Solutions available through the 3M and Nuance partnership can help physicians and hospital systems make that transition to ICD-10, without having to quadruple their coding time."

Understand how 3M Computer-Assisted Physician Documentation can help:

1. Improve clinical documentation programs
2. Educate physicians on ICD-10
3. Minimize slowdowns in coding
4. Mitigate revenue cycle disruption

"When doctors think about technology, a lot of times their minds go right to innovations with drugs or devices. There's just as much innovation involved here as there is in developing a new device or new drug. And yet we don't think of these types of innovations as being as valued. What we're doing here is bringing that to the forefront and showing doctors that we can innovate in the process of care and not just in the delivery of care."
