CFP CLOSED

The Program Committee for the 2010 ICD-10 Annual Summit invites you to submit papers for presentation. The 2010 Summit will build on the momentum established at the 2009 Summit, where leaders from across the healthcare industry convened to explore ways that healthcare providers, payers, and other stakeholders can seize the opportunity to turn the ICD-10 implementation mandate from a compliance requirement into a strategic advantage.

To advance this concept, papers are being solicited in the specific categories described below. Submissions are encouraged by leaders from all stakeholder groups – healthcare facilities of all types, provider organizations of all sizes, payer organizations, consultants, and software & systems providers. Maximum length for the entire abstract is 1,000 words.

The submission form will consist of five steps….
