Applying data governance strategies can help healthcare facilities capture and use social determinants of health (SDOH) data, and a key part of that process is appropriate ICD-10-CM coding, according to a recent AHIMA white paper.
To select the most specific codes for pediatric conditions, inpatient coders must understand the difference between the terms “neonate,” “newborn,” and “infant.”
For FY 2022, CMS continues to expand inpatient access to cutting edge health care technologies by increasing the additional payments designed to cover their development costs and streamlining applicable FDA approval processes.
