2013 Webinar Series Kicks Off March 19

I dreamt that I went to sleep and when I woke up the ICD-10 transition was over! 

 

In fact that is exactly what is going to happen.  You will go to sleep on Tuesday night, after using ICD-9 all day, and wake up on Wednesday morning to begin using ICD-10. Depending on your preparation this can either be a dream come 

true or your worst nightmare.

 

There is a pathway through the ICD-10 maze and it begins by engaging with physicians and staff to build an awareness of what ICD-10 is. If you haven't begun planning you must join us on Tuesday March 19th at noon and take the first step down the path towards a successful transition! Register now.

 

The Colorado ICD-10 Training Coalition will bring you programming and resources throughout the year that will build on the steps down the path.  We are not the first to transition to ICD-10... in fact we are the last.  The words of wisdom from the other countries that have gone before us - start early!
