CDI specialists begin ICD-10 preparation efforts despite discussion of potential implementation delays

In October 2010, when ACDIS first conducted its assessment survey regarding CDI readiness for ICD-10 implementation, 83% of respondents indicated they had no formal ICD-10 training and 44% indicated they had no training timeline (www.hcpro.com/content/257225.pdf). By the close of the second survey in January 2012, the numbers were only slightly better—74% of respondents indicated that they had no formal ICD-10 training, and 35% indicated that they had no training timeline in place.
