ICD-10 Changes - Tip Sheet?

Good Morning!
I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season :)

I wanted to see if anyone has a quick tip sheet/resource that highlights some of the major coding changes that will go into effect when ICD-10 goes live.
I'm working on a list of diagnoses that will need better or different specificity so I can start preparing for this.
I am interested in all major changes and of course would like to know which ones will impact the DRG (principal diagnosis, CC/MCC, etc).

Any information that could be shared would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Greta
