CMS ICD-10 Impact Analysis In September 2008, CMS concluded a one year project with the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) to identify and assess the business processes, systems and operations under CMS' direct responsibility that would potentially be impacted by a transition to the ICD-10 code set. The analysis included information gathered from CMS components from late 2007 to early 2008 and was the first of several efforts that will be undertaken to prepare CMS for the transition to ICD-10. An initial summary of AHIMA's executive report is included in the Downloads section below, along with a more detailed report of AHIMA's initial findings. The second phase of planning was initiated in September 2008 by Noblis, and was built upon AHIMA's findings to include the impacts and risks surrounding new legislation and initiatives not accounted for in the AHIMA study as well as updated needed from the original analysis. This ICD-10 Impact Analysis further analyzes the impact of the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 on CMS policies, processes and systems by confirming where CMS uses ICD codes, discussing the opportunities that ICD-10 presents to CMS, assessing the risks, and describing the high level effort required to prepare CMS for the transition to ICD-10. Additionally, this document identifies risk mitigation strategies to reduce the consequences of potential negative events associated with the transition. This report also describes the high level activities required of each CMS component to prepare for ICD-10. To view the analysis, please see the link in the Downloads section below. Although the Impact Analysis was intended to be solely CMS-focused, the agency is committed to sharing the report to provide insights for ICD-10 planning and implementation activities in other organizations. We will continue to share information regarding ICD-10 implementation as is it becomes available. ICD-10-Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System Bookmark The ICD-10-Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System Bookmark, which explains the ICD-10-Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System (CM/PCS), including the benefits of adopting the system, recommended steps to be taken in order to plan and prepare for implementation of the system, and where additional information about the system can be found is now available in print format.
