The move into the electronic communication and medical documentation ERA has the USA in a frenzy. By frenzy we mean there were over 1300 EHR's initially on the market. Statistics now show there are less than 50 which will again be decreasing due to non compliant functionality. Also complicating the healthcare industry is the fact that the USA is one of the last modern day countries to adopt ICD-10 "International Classification of Diseases version 10". With this mandated legislation, the healthcare industry will experience one of the most dramatic changes in more than 30 years bringing the code set from 13,000 to more than 66,000 new and more meaningful combinations. Medorizon has been preparing to help with these changes and developed a number of targeted presentations to assist healthcare clients prepare for these new and upcoming changes taking effect October, 2014. Tim Tobin, CEO states "Medorizon's core function is medical billing so it was natural for our company to help our community with the changes. We have assisted a number of providers meet meaningful use and capitalize on the government incentive money. In the process of helping, we demonstrate how to train on efficiency with less time spent away from the practice and patients."
