AHA Survey on ICD-10 Readiness

The American Hospital Association (AHA) is distributing a short survey to its member hospitals to gauge their readiness and progress for implementation of ICD-10. The implementation date is currently scheduled for Oct. 1, 2013, although the current Acting CMS Administrator, Marilyn Tavenner, has expressed a willingness to revisit this timeline. Even though the Oct. 2013 date may be postponed, IHA encourages you to take a few minutes to complete the survey; your participation is important to our advocacy efforts to ensure as seamless a transition as possible from the current ICD-9.

For your reference, a link to the survey document and cover letter is provided.
