AB The  transition  from  ICD-9  to  ICD-10  and  to  future  ICD  revisions  is  challenging  but  also  provides  unique  opportunities  to  improve  health  care  and  disease/procedure  tracking  and  data.  This  transition  will  better  support  current  technology  and  health  care  reform  initiatives  including  the  Centers  for  Medicare  &  Medicaid  Services  (CMS)  value-based  purchasing  and  pay-for-performance  programs;  coordinated  care  models  such  as  accountable  care  organizations  and  patient-centered  medical  homes;  the  government’s  Physician  Quality  Reporting  System;  and  the  move  toward  adoption  of  electronic  health  record  systems.  In  addition,  it  affords  great  potential  to  decrease  audit  risk  since  ICD-10  codes  allow  the  physician’s  documentation  to  be  translated  into  a  more  accurate  clinical  picture,  thereby  reducing  the  chance  of  misinterpretation  by  third  parties,  auditors  (eg,  recovery  audit  contractors—RAC),  and  attorneys.
