Impacts we can expect from ICD-10 transition
The nice folks at Ingenious Med reached out to get my opinion on the recent ICD-10 transition. They summarized my thoughts in a recent post on their blog. Their questions reminded me of similar ones I ’ve been recently asked so I thought I’d elaborate them here.
Q: How will the additional specificity required by ICD-10 pose a challenge for clinicians and the way that they currently track patient information?
A: For clinicians with “simple” requirements – such as specialists or those tha t don’t perform too many different diagnoses or procedures the transition will be annoying but not catastrophic. (Source: The Healthcare IT Guy)

How health IT can deliver on the promise of Medical Travel
Health IT for large systems, hospitals, and traditional physician practices is well underway. Enough so that innovators/startups, are starting to see consolidation and heavy competition. As I look around at new areas for health IT implementations, I think areas in medical travel or medical tourism ( “MT”) appear to be great opportunities. A potent mix of the Internet, cloud computing and globalized medicine — when combined — should drive medical travel. I’ll be speaking at the Medical Travel and Global Healthcare Business Summit in Tampa Florida. (Source: The Healthcare IT Guy)
