3M's demonstration of the Healthcare Data Dictionary at the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase has had a great turnout today. Many visitors were greatly interested in learning about the HDD's capabilities and how it will directly impact ICD-10 coding.

Scenes from the 3M HIS Booth Party

This spring in New Orleans, 3M Health Information Systems is on board with the HIMSS13 conference theme: “Health IT: Right Time. Right Place. It’s On.” With Stage 2 MU initiatives, HIPAA updates and ICD-10 changing the playing field almost daily, now really is the right time for healthcare IT professionals to take their game up a notch.

Luckily, game-changing innovation is in 3M’s DNA, and we’re good listeners, too: As we developed the 3M™ 360 Encompass™ System, we reached out to healthcare leaders for input on how they wanted to connect and automate both coding and documentation improvement—two critical factors related to ICD-10 and performance-based reimbursement. Physicians will appreciate the newest generation of 3M™ ChartScriptMD Software, and informaticists and CMIOs will want to hear about HDD Access, the public initiative from 3M and the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs that makes 3M terminology content plus database and runtime services software available to the public. If you are implementing an EHR (and who isn’t?), you must see how the 3M™ Healthcare Data Dictionary can expand and improve the accuracy of your EHR content.

For a must-have IT innovation experience, visit 3M at Booth 2341 to check out our next-generation healthcare solutions.
