ICD-10 Resources for Clients
NextGen Healthcare offers you resources such as our ICD-10 Road Map and Health Reform Simplified webinar series as well as our weekly EDI ICD-10 Forum. Our upgrade services team recently issued our planned hotfix availability schedule, which is included in this issue of What’s Next in a separate article. Here’s a listing of the current set of ICD-10 transition resources available to all clients:
- ICD-10 Road Map webinar series: NextGen Healthcare physicians and policy experts host a discussion of the most pressing ICD-10 concerns and issues. If you missed any webinars you can view a recording of them on Knowledge Exchange. Just search ICD-10 or click on the ICD-10 icon. You can also click here to register for future webinars. Our next webinar in this series is on May 28. Participants will hear from a major payer – Florida Blue – on the ICD-10 preparation lessons they’ve learned.
- Health Reform Simplified: Our monthly client-only webinar series covers the complex issues surrounding health and payment reform. Clients can register on Knowledge Exchange for our next webinar on May 21.
- EDI ICD-10 Forum: Scheduled every Wednesday for clients, we run through the entire implementation process and address anything a client needs to do to set up for ICD-10. We cover the ICD-10 Implementation Checklist, step by step. It includes EHR, PM, and KBM. This webinar is perfect for billing professionals, clinical leads, and IT personnel. Hundreds of clients have already taken advantage of this resource. For more information you can go to Knowledge Exchange, click on the ICD-10 icon and go to Webinar Registration.
- e-Learning: At learning.nextgen.com, clients search “ICD-10” to watch sessions to help get up to speed for ICD-10 on NextGen® Ambulatory EHR, NextGen® Practice Management (NextGen PM) and information about the 5.8/8.3 releases.
- Knowledge Exchange: Visit knowledge.nextgen.com, log in and search ICD-10 or click on the ICD-10 icon for the resources and information you need for your ICD-10 transition.
Watch for more resources coming soon. For example, our physician consulting services will soon offer a webinar for custom presentation virtually or at your site [billable]. It will provide valuable insight into the key areas providers must master before October 1, 2005. Learn about the regulatory requirement to use SNOMED terminology; ICD-10 provider workflows; GEMS mapping; and real-time demonstrations, from a provider’s perspective, of how to identify, select and submit an ICD-10 code in NextGen Ambulatory EHR (using several different clinical scenarios.)
We expect changes and obstacles will come as the industry implements the new coding. But we are also prepared for that and will continue to monitor for any new or revised requirements. We’ll make the necessary changes and provide you, our valued clients, with the resources and training needed to manage those changes and provide the best possible value-based healthcare.
We’re ready for ICD-10. If you are on NextGen Ambulatory EHR version 5.8 and NextGen® Knowledge Base Model (NextGen KBM) version 8.3 your software is ready but you will have to apply the ICD-10 product readiness hotfixes we announced recently. That availability schedule will be published in every future issue of What’s Next. Please visit Upgrade Central for – and the ICD-10 page – for a complete list of the upgrade resources available to you.
