Description

Do you want to simplify the transition to ICD-10-PCS? ICD-10 Prep: Assessing Coders’ A&P Proficiency explains the benefits and importance of assessing coders’ strengths and weaknesses in the biomedical sciences prior to ICD-10-PCS training, and provides the methods necessary to carry out assessments. This audio seminar is designed to expedite the learning process during transition by preemptively addressing weaknesses in coding staff.

Objectives

• Discuss the importance of identifying coders' strengths and weaknesses in the biomedical sciences (A&P, medical terminology, pathophysiology) prior to ICD-10-PCS training
• Describe the relationship between ICD-10-PCS and coders' skills in the biomedical sciences
• Explain the importance of the development of a role-based training plan which includes ICD-10-PCS prep
• Identify methods of assessing coders' strengths and weaknesses in the biomedical sciences
• Review case scenarios illustrating the level of A&P knowledge required for ICD-10-PCS
