Webinar 21: Unpacking ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS 12th Edition Changes

With any new edition of coding standards there are often new terms to be learnt, understood, and put into practice as we code. Whilst the intention of the releases from IHACPA are to provide clarity, sometimes they take a little getting used to in practice.

Based on the feedback from our coding and auditing community iMedX, who are implementing the changes and actively engaged in auditing, has been engaged to unpack the following key topics for discussion in ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS 12th edition:

Placing emphasis on the common issues – Discuss your level of understanding of changes. Common issues found in audit. Applying ACS0002 symptoms vs underlying conditions eg. Abstraction, Covid.
Abstraction – General principals and exceptions, clarify admitted stay, primary source, when can we look elsewhere with examples, multiple episodes, recurring care and poll question shorthand notes. Screening forms. Causal relationship documentation. Question opportunity.
ACS 0002 – Back to basic criteria, what is therapeutic treatment, when does it apply? poll examples to test, increased clinical care what do we need to see to code, all about the documentation, examples of when meets and not, poll to test increased care compliance, what is routine care. Question opportunity.
Scope of Practice – Glossary, what is a consultation, care plan, scope of practice. Brought to life with examples. Nursing, Dietician, Physio. What happens if care plan is not executed? Link between condition and treatment. Question time.

The webinars have been designed to maximise engagement by way of interactive polls, practical examples, relevant industry experience and a platform for questions and discussions.

Given that the 12th edition changes are relevant for all the coders, experienced or new, iMedX and HIMAA invites all the HIMs, CDI specialists and Clinical Coders to attend this engaging session.

iMedX will be delivering three Coder PD Webinars in 2023 for HIMAA including sepsis and drug resistance (May/June) and diabetes and neoplasms (September).

We look forward to hearing about your experience and learning together!
