Deadline Extended for Nominations to Workgroups on Conversion of AHRQ Quality Indicators
The deadline for nominations for members of workgroups on ICD-10-CM/PCS Conversion of AHRQ Quality Indicators (QIs) has been extended through July 22 to provide greater opportunity for participation. Nominations are being sought for members of approximately 10 multidisciplinary workgroups on ICD-10-CM/PCS conversion of the AHRQ QIs. These workgroups are being formed as part of a structured approach to convert the existing QI specifications from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS, incorporating coding expertise, clinical expertise, and health services research/quality measurement expertise. These workgroups will evaluate the results of automated "code mapping" from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS, providing input and advice about similarities and differences between mapped codes. This workgroup process will lead to specific recommendations about how the existing QIs should be re-specified using ICD-10-CM/PCS codes, retaining the clinical intent of each indicator while exploiting the greater specificity of ICD-10-CM/PCS to improve validity. Self-nominations are welcome. Third-party nominations must indicate that the individual has been contacted and is willing to serve on one of the workgroups. Select to read the July 10 Federal Register notice.
