The Visible Clinical Aspects of ICD-10 4

Overview of Kaiser Permanente Founded 1945 Serves > 8.7 Million Members 8 Regions Across the United States: –Colorado, –Georgia, –Hawaii, –Mid-Atlantic States (VA, MD, DC), –Northern California, –Northwest (Oregon/Washington), –Ohio and –Southern California 35 Hospitals 454 Medical Offices, 15,129 Physicians, 64,098 Employees Total Revenue for 2010 = $44.2B 5 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

According to the American Association of Professional Coders 6 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

Kaiser’s Organizational Imperative Kaiser Permanente As a Complex Organization: Insurer, Care Delivery, Hospital System, IT, Vendor Relationship Kaiser Permanente as a Leader in Integrated Care Delivery Kaiser Permanente As the Largest Non-Governmental Deployment of EMR in the World Kaiser Permanente Will Have to Take a Multi-Year and Multi-Disciplinary Approach for ICD-10 Readiness 7 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

Kaiser Permanente’s Approach Organization Wide Assess impact Plan approach Complete systems readiness Execute plan 10/1/2013 ICD-10 compliance 5010 Systems identified to size impact Draft systems approach IT Vendor Readiness survey Business Review: impacted apps, processes and policies Business Refine plan. Remediate, retire, replace applications in line with compliance approach. Testing/ Deployment / Transition Coordination with and tracking of vendor readiness activities Coordinated vendor testing; risk mitigation Readiness for business-supported apps; revision of policies and procedures; organizational readiness Program Multi-year plan framework National and Regional Governance structures General awareness, communications and training Role-specific trainingPrerequisites trainingCoP: Curriculum and approach Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

Example ICD-9 to ICD-10 9 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

Comparisons of the Diagnosis Code Sets ICD-9-CMICD-10-CM 3-5 Characters in Length3-7 Characters in Length Approximately 13,000 Codes Approximately 69,000 Available Codes First Digit May Be Alpha (E or V) or Numeric; Digits 2-5 Are Numeric Digit 1 Is Alpha; Digits 2 and 3 Are Numeric; Digits 4-7 Are Alpha or Numeric Limited Space for Adding New Codes Flexible for Adding New Code Lacks DetailVery Specific Lacks LateralityHas Laterality (i.e., Codes Identifying Right Vs. Left) 10 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

ICD-10 Code Structure ICD-10-CM CM = Clinical Modification of the WHO Diagnostic System for the US –Characters 1-3 – Category –Characters 4-6 – Etiology, anatomic site, severity, or other clinical detail –Characters 7 – Extension ICD-10-PCS PCS = Procedural Coding System (Inpatient Hospital Use) Only the US Uses PCS –Character 1- Name of Section –Character 2- Body System –Character 3- Root Operation –Character 4- Body Part –Character 5- Approach –Character 6- Device –Character 7- Qualifier 11 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

Clinical Example, ICD-10-CM A Provider Sees a Patient in a Subsequent Encounter for an Age Related Pathological Fracture to Left Humerus with Delayed Healing: ICD-9-CM Code: One Code PATHOLOGICAL FRACTURE OF HUMERUS ICD-10-CM Takes into Account Several Elements to Get More Granular Code M G : –In ICD-10-CM Many Choices for the First 3 Characters Depending on the Category (M80) Osteoporosis with current pathological fracture –ICD-10-CM Presents Several Other Choices Dependent on the Clinical Information (022): M Aged related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, humerus, right M Aged related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, humerus Left M unspecified –ICD-10-CM must identify encounter and healing status, this is the extension code (G) A) initial encounter for fracture D) subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing G) subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing K) subsequent encounter for fracture with non-union healing P) subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion healing S) sequela 12 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

ICD-9-CM Vs. ICD-10-CM Prior Example of Age Related Pathologic Fracture Yields 18 codes in ICD-10-CM Vs. One Code Available in ICD-9-CM If We Were to Compare and Code for Traumatic Fracture Instead of Pathologic Fracture: –26 Codes in ICD-9-CM Vs. 966 Codes in ICD-10-CM 26 codes (13 closed fracture and 13 open fracture) in ICD x 966 codes (138 codes x 7 alpha extensions includes Initial Open and Initial Closed) in ICD-10 - S42.2xx to S42.49xx 13 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

Impact on Documentation by the Clinician How Specific Do We Need to Be When Documenting in ICD-10? Is More Specific Better for Patient Care, Quality Initiatives or Revenue Impact? Can Extreme Request for Specificity Backfire and Lead to Vague Data and Sometimes Outright Incorrect or Erroneous Data? What Would the Impact Be on Provider Productivity? 14 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

Impact and Optimization of EMR Mapping for ICD-10 and Making Display Names and Synonyms Available for Easy Retrieval Implementation of New Coding Tools in EMR to Help Selecting Correct Codes Remediation and Mapping of: –Structured Data (Problem List, PMH, Decision Support Tools) –Existing Documentation Tools –Quality Reports –Utilization Management Reports –Clinical Protocols –Population Registries 15

Kaiser’s Expectations Kaiser Permanente, Kaiser Hospitals and Permanente Medical Group Will Be Ready for an October 2013 Transition to ICD-10 –All Impacted Systems Will Be Remediated –People Impact Will Be Minimized –Training and Workflows Will Be Optimized For a Smooth Transition with a Minimal Disruption Progress to Date: –Completed Inventory of Impacted System Program Wide –Significant Progress on People Impact and Training Program Wide –System Remediation, Mapping and Crosswalk of Codes Already in Progress 16 Courtesy of: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio Ohio Permanente Medical Group

Sample Organization Structure 38

Physician Impact Appreciate Time, Complexity, & Level of Difficulty –Documentation Will Change –Will Take Longer; May Need To Be Repeated; Delinquent Charts –Also Being Impacted At The Office Level AND –Need To Take Care Of Patients!! Engage & Train Physicians On Importance Of Changes –Address Adoption Issues, Training Sessions, Tools Conduct Workflow Analysis –Potential Gaps –Redesign Workflows And Documentation Products Prepare To Minimize Impact –Consider Preparation Of Billing Under Both Coding Systems 39

Nursing Impact Appreciate Time, Complexity, & Level of Difficulty –Same Organizational Change Issues as Physicians –Awareness of Impact Initiative in Other Departments –Physicians, Utilization & QA Review, Agency Personnel!! –Training Needs –Forms & Orders Will Change; Documentation Will Need to Be More Specific: EG. Pressure Ulcers: ICD 9 = 9 codes; ICD 10 > 125 codes Don’t Underestimate the Value of a Nurse –Critical to engage: understand A & P, disease process, can read surgical reports and can explain what happened/how treated –Can serve as translators between Physicians and HIM Consider Role for Nursing Specialists/Informaticists, RN- Coders: : meaningful-use.aspx 40

Operational / Functional Impact Productivity will be effected in Real $$ Productivity Decreases Expected, Beyond Transition Cash Flow Impact Resulting from Lowered Productivity: –Claims Submissions –Reimbursements –Slowed Revenue Stream –A/R Drop –Audit Impact of Changes in Documentation –Increase in Cost Per Case for a Period of Time –Delays in Chart Completion Secondary to Physician Documentation –Charge capture Processes May Need Modifications Utilization Review / Case Management Impact Stop Loss Initiatives Needed? –Collaborate with Payers as Well 41
