2. Health IT Leaders Call ICD-10 Transition “A Step Forward” – Healthcare Informatics

Yesterday marked the deadline for ICD-10 code implementation and many health IT leaders have applauded the nationwide transition as a necessary step to build more robust medical records. In a statement, the Coalition for ICD-10, a broad-based healthcare industry advocacy group, said the transition to ICD-10 “is a historic moment for U.S. healthcare and a major milestone in the evolving transformation of our 21st century healthcare delivery system.”

According to a study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology, when it comes to the parents of children receiving ultrasound studies patients really want to get imaging findings directly from radiologists. Researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine implemented radiologist-patient consultations after routine outpatient pediatric ultrasound studies at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. They found that more than 90% of parents indicated they would prefer to meet directly with the radiologist at every visit going forward.

4. Study Raises New Doubts About Value of Breast CAD – AuntMinnie

This included a “very large U.S. healthcare system” with more than 12,000 employees and more than 3,000 physicians. The system included 97 MRI systems, 323 PACS Systems, and hundreds of other devices.
