Role-based Model for ICD-10 Implementation: Inpatient Coder Tasks

The final rule implementing ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS identifies the need for 50 hours of training for inpatient coders to learn the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS systems. This recommended 50 hours of training presumes that coding professionals already possess the required knowledge in the biomedical sciences (anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and medical terminology) that will be needed to correctly apply codes using the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS systems.

For successful transition to ICD10, the challenge for inpatient coders is to:
