Abstract

On September 30, 2014, the US health care system is to assign the last International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code. The new system, International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System, will become effective on October 1, 2014. We are embracing one of the largest health care changes in the past 30 years. This article describes the steps in setting up and implementing an efficient and effective ICD-10 training workshop. A 2-day North Carolina ICD-10 workshop is used as a case study. Following the initial workshop, 11 additional workshops were conducted throughout North Carolina.
