I have worked as a quality writer/doc control specialist at a manufacturer of ophthalmic and dermatology lasers, earned a medical coding certificate (ICD-9) and closely follow ICD-10 and ANSI 5010 implementation.

Clinical workflow analysis must precede HIT selection; failing that, chaos and anger soon follow.

PHR use by every consumer will spur greater adoption of EHR/EMR by providers as they seek to catch up with demand (and their changing revenue base). Providers have been “dragging their heels” resisting CMS warnings about ICD-10 and HIT since 1994. Consumers’ PHRs that demand health data from providers who aren’t able to deliver will lose patients to providers who say “Yes, I’ll send the data right now.”

I can shoulder the workload if you care to delegate it.
