How might the implementation of ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS be expected to impact quality reporting?
Data and systems used to collect quality performance measures for all provider types would be revised to accommodate ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes. The ICD-10 coded data will permit a better assessment of patient severity, the intensity and complexity of services provided to patients, and the resources utilized in caring for patients. It is anticipated that this data will inform future program and payment policies. Current quality measures would be replaced with codes from the new coding systems.
