The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

ICD-10 Coding Issues

Organized medicine has had some recent success with CMS.  CMS has agreed to not penalize providers who do not use ICD-10 coding accurately.  This was in the face of their previous refusal to postpone implementation of it's implementation this October 2015.  Despite their reticence, organized medicine mounted an offensive to convince CMS otherwise.  CMS relented somewhat to accomodate organized medicine's advice to  slow down the process so that   providers can learn the new system.

Many large groups and hospitals have in place their ICD-10 EMRs.  Larger institutions have IT support staff dedicated to these issues. The steady mounting requirements for meaningful us also placed a burden on smaller to medium sized medical practices.

For those of  you  who wish to learn more about ICD-10 conversion, attend this webinar
