Duel coding

For those of you whose hospitals are currently Duel coding, what program are you duel coding in? Is it the 3M training module? Are you duel coding in a system that can be saved? As far as I can see the 3M coding training module cannot be saved.

Thanks!

    Katy:



    Our coders are dual coding in 3M, not the training module, but a new
    chapter-using the translation tool-- was added that will save those
    codes. In CDI, we just received a new chapter in CDIS and are starting
    to use the translation tool. I am hearing in April the ICD-10 CAC in 3M
    will be ready also.

    HI Katy,
    We have not started Duel coding yet but we will be using 3M.

    Our hospital system opted to use a different arrangement for "dual coding." We will have times designated each week for the coders to code cases strictly in ICD-10. They will not code the same chart in both ICD-9 and ICD-10. 3M 360 Encompass software gives us the ability to code in ICD-10 and review the translations in ICD-9.

    Dual coding may very well result in duel coding between systems and coders!
