ICD-10 the Hot Topic in Healthcare Circles

The Olympus Audio team took its line of Professional Dictation products to AHIMA’s 2012 annual conference earlier this month in Chicago.

Of special note to our Certified Dealer Partners was the show’s hot topic, ICD-10 – the 10th version of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, a World Health Organization medical classification list. The new coding standard, which must be implemented by October 2014, is top of mind throughout the healthcare industry.

Though ICD-10 solutions are primarily software-based, Olympus Professional Dictation hardware can play a role in ensuring a successful transition. The efficiencies created by Olympus recorders, USB microphones and workflow software minimize data entry time and effort and improve accuracy, allowing healthcare users to devote extra energy to mastering the nuances of ICD-10 output.
