CMS offers CME/CE Credits for Health Professionals

CMS has announced three new ICD-10 courses on Medscape. If you do not have a Medscape account, you will be prompted to create one the first time you go to the site.

CME credits are available for physicians, and CE credits are available for nurses.  The following videos are available:

• ICD-10: Getting From Here to There -- Navigating the Road Ahead – A video lecture giving providers an overview of ICD-10 and its benefits, the differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10, and the CMS “Road to 10” Tool.
• ICD-10 and Clinical Documentation – A video discussing the role of documentation and coding in health care and examining why documentation is important for ICD-10.
• Preparing for ICD-10: Now Is the Time – An expert column exploring the effect ICD-10 will have on systems, the coding process, documentation, and quality reporting. It also provides steps to prepare for ICD-10 implementation.

Remember that CMS also offers the Road to ICD-10 website: http://www.roadto10.org/
