It has provided sufficient time for unprepared and prepared practices to identify gaps in training, coding, and system upgrades. Providers should be able to convert this to their advantage and be ready for the new codes. It will give them enough time to rethink any changes that can improve claim submission post-ICD-10 implementation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The delay should be used in improving quality reporting so that when ICD-10 is finally implemented the new set of codes can be used to its full specificity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>This extension for<a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalbillersandcoders.com\/ICD-10.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> implementing ICD-10<\/a> can also be used to meet goals related to financial outcomes and new delivery payment models throughout healthcare communities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Healthcare practices can also utilize this period to stay proactive with communities and nationwide programs in order to have a successful future in the healthcare industry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Physicians, hospitals, and all other healthcare facilities can organize and monitor the training and implementation process of ICD-10.
