Are there any ICD-10 benefits that relate to building an electronic medical record?
Yes, ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS present a number of benefits to building an electronic medical record. Both ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS are better suited for use in electronic health record systems because they permit more robust mapping from Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) clinical reference terminology and are more amenable to computer-assisted coding.
