Terminologies, and Classification Systems Hardcover: 340 pages
This book will untangle the complicated world of healthcare vocabularies, terminologies, and classification systems for you! Healthcare Code Sets, Clinical Terminologies, and Classification Systems takes you into the future of healthcare, with its clear representation of new technology and the growing field of healthcare informatics. Use this book as an office reference, an in-service tool, or in any classroom setting. In the EHR, multiple terminologies,
vocabularies, and classification systems are used to create encoded
data that users can access, combine, manipulate, and share. HIM
professionals need to learn these key systems to prepare for the
adoption of the electronic health record. This textbook explains the
components comprising the infrastructure for electronic health
records, taking you beyond the standard diagnosis and procedure code
sets and how they interact with emerging code sets and data
standards. Discover how new terminologies, vocabularies, and
classification systems work together with HIPAA standard code sets
in the identification and organization of clinical data.

Please remember that the government no longer allows a grace period for annual code sets. The new HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national medical code sets that are valid at the time that a service is provided. ICD-9-CM code revisions become effective October 1st each year while CPT and HCPCS code revisions become effective January 1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the revised CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes in your possession before the implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your code books early. Review current coding resources.
