3M as an ally in the ICD-10 transition

Trust 3M Health Information Systems to provide the tools and information that can help guide you through this major transition.

Given the potential financial and clinical impact of ICD-10 and the information system changes, healthcare organizations should take steps now to understand and prepare for ICD-10 implementation. Fortunately, hospitals do not have to face the transition alone.

We are the ICD-10 experts

We will deliver "ICD-10 Ready" products and services well before the implementation deadline and will offer additional solutions — mapping, trending and education — to help you with an effective transition. Our Clinical Research and Nosology Support departments are staffed with experts who can help 3M clients throughout the transition. We are revising existing products to utilize the new ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding systems.

3M offers solutions that can help healthcare providers adapt to the new ICD-10 standard by:

  • Assessing existing coding and reimbursement systems, database inventory, and decision-support systems
  • Evaluating interfaces between code entry in the HIM department and electronic billing using the UB-04 format
  • Trending clinical data and comprehensive clinical studies
    • 3M -- ICD-10 Ready
  • Performing case mix analysis
  • Reviewing financial information connected with reimbursement
  • Checking the readiness of data sources and applications to adopt the new code sets

3M solutions can help your hospital develop critical capabilities that can make the transition successful.
