  8. ICD-10: What does it mean for your practice? • Clinicians • Will significantly change the clinical documentation for both diagnosis and procedure • The level of specificity required in order to assign a code is significantly increased • The conversion will have to be done by a clinician (requires clinical judgment) • Administrative staff • Have to learn a new code-set language and more anatomy/medical terminologies • Have to convince clinicians that this is not just a coder/biller issue • Costs • software changes and consulting services to make the transition may be considerable and need to be planned for
