ICD-10-CM/PCS Transition:
Fundamentals of General Equivalence Mapping (GEM)

As the healthcare industry continues to prepare for the transition to ICD-10-CM/PCS, data consistency grows increasingly important. The General Equivalence Mappings (GEM) created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) are available to assist with the translation of legacy data between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM/PCS. This virtual meeting will review how the GEM facilitates the management of coded data. Prepare yourself and your workplace for this important step.

Virtual Meetings bring AHIMA events directly to you through online audio/visual presentations, letting you experience the same speakers, education, and interaction you’ve come to expect from our in-person events. Keep up on the latest trends; question experts during the after-meeting Q&A session; and fulfill continuing education requirements without leaving your home or office.

AHIMA meetings are dynamic, exciting, and edifying events that bring you the very latest in health information management (HIM)-related information and education. You can register for this event today by selecting the registration tab above or calling Customer Relations at (800) 335-5535. More updates will be listed here in the coming weeks, so please visit us again soon

The program will be available by June 10, 2010. Please visit us again soon!
