New Animated ICD-10 Videos from CMS

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released two animated shorts that explain key ICD-10 concepts. Less than 4 minutes each, the videos are available at cms.gov/ICD-10:

Introduction to ICD-10 Coding gives an overview of ICD-10's features and explains the benefits of the new code set to patients and to the health care community.

ICD-10 Coding and Diabetes uses diabetes as an example to show how the code set captures important clinical details.

Meaningful Use Services Reminder!

We've partnered with Health Data Specialists (HDS) to provide MU services to Connections members. Each participating health center may choose from four service offerings. The grant will pay for one service and the associated travel costs per health center. Additional services may be chosen at a reduced rate, but these will be billed to your health center.

A webinar is scheduled for March 11th to review the services.  Email Terri Kennedy at terri.kennedy@synovim.org for an invitation, to indicate which service you prefer, or with questions about the offerings.
