Business Rules

Update the business rules to reflect revised internal business policies:
–
–
–
–
Re-point all rules that use tabled codes to appropriate reference tables
Re-code rules that are hard-coded to reflect the intent of the rules in ICD-10
Update algorithms
Update claim edits
6
Data Definition and Validation
Data Dictionaries
Validation processes
based on date of
service and code
type
Inbound and
outbound
transactions
File format
specifications
Perform updates across systems

User Interfaces
Updates will be needed to the following:

Captions

Data Type Support

Field Length

Data Sources

Code Descriptions Displays

Number of Supported Codes Per Claim
9
System Interfaces
Internal Interface

Exchange of information within an organization
External Interface

Exchange of information within an internal
organization and from an external organization
10
Data Warehouses / Data Marts
Impact to Reporting:
Data Warehouse/
Data Mart

Ability to store data

Retrieve and extract data

Transform and load data

Manage the data dictionary

Update defined
aggregation schemes

Evaluate Grouper Logic –
DRG, DXCG, ETG
Report
11
System Engineering
Evaluation of the hardware or systems engineering environment is critical.
 Hardware and processing capacity
 Dual processing supported in operations and testing
 Test Servers to support varying vendor go-live dates
 Inventory equipment and evaluate the transmission capability and physical storage
of hardware
 Data Server’s ability to support increased claims, records, and other data
 Adequate processing and storage capacity for live operations and testing
 Transmission capacity
 Ability to handle increased call volume and system interaction
12
Auditing and Logging Code Translation
The SMA will need a log to identify each ICD translation
created for each system transaction:

Data translated;

Translation direction;

Purpose of translation;

Date of data translation; and

What was the original code and can you retrieve it?

Who or what performed the translation?
13
Vendor Support

Application Support

Interoperability

Programming and Testing

Appropriate mapping and crosswalk programming


Closing Points

Communicate to your teams the importance of evaluating
business processes for ICD-10 impacts to further define
supporting requirements for applications, databases and
enterprise infrastructure.

Identify gaps in business requirements to meet ICD-10
compliance. Inventory of Business Requirements

Work with SMEs from business and IT to identify remediation
strategy advantages and disadvantages. Access hardware.

Communicate timelines with vendors and define common
ground to evaluate ICD-10 vendor readiness.
