HCPro/ACDIS is exploring the feasibility of developing training on ICD-10 especially for CDI Specialists. In order to best meet the needs of the Clinical Documentation Specialists (you guys) it would be helpful to narrow down what, in particular, you feel would be most helpful to support your role as a CDI Specialist.

Please consider addressing the following in your responses (and we hope to get many responses as your replies will "drive" the content!).

* What is the preferred way to offer this information/class (live or electronic (or both))?

*Which type of offering do you think would get the most support from your administration - a live course (travel to a designated class location) or remote training (audio or web-based)?

* What topics do you need education on the most or do you feel would be most valuable?
- differences between the ICD-9 to ICD-10 system (CM and PCS coding rules/regs)?
- query opportunities (things that you may not be doing now that will affect ICD-10 specificity)?
- educating providers (what new documentation is required)?
- Other non-coding related topics
- procedure documentation?

* Would your facility pay for you to attend such a class?

* If your facility does not subsidize your attendance, do you plan on attending such a class at your own expense?

* How long should such a class be (1, 2, 3 or more days)?

* What would be the most opportune time frame to attend this class?
- 2012 (all year)
- 2013 (prior to the start date of ICD-10 (10/1/13))?

* If you have other ideas/comments, please feel free to expand upon this survey.

Thanks for your replies - we appreciate your insight and feedback!

    I answered the survey questions in red so they would be easier to read, but for some reason the color won't transfer when I copy and paste, so I have attached my responses.

    What is the preferred way to offer this information/class (live or electronic (or both))? I personally prefer live but in today's ecomony electronic is more cost effective for a large group.

    Our facility will pay for only minimal travel, therefore, I would prefer I-10 training web-based. I think 2-hours sessions would be the best way so that you would not monopolize the entire day with the education. The classes could be taken at the CDIS's preferred time. With the shorter classes, this would allow for CDI staff to breakdown the cost if needing to pay for their own classes.

    The topics that I would be interested in are: Query opportunities in I-10 (especially those we don't have in I-9) and Physician documentation - how to educate.

    I believe between 10/2012 and 10/2013 would be the best time for the classes to start.
