The app is to be discussed offers convenience for healthcare providers, which prevents the need to flip through heavy textbooks or go hunting for a coding reference page. Technology has made it easier for deep code analysis, processing claims, and clinical documenting, public health reporting (Hirsch et al., 2016). It is vital as an Advanced Practiced Nurse (APN) to have a clear understanding of this app, as it relates to patient outcomes. This discussion will critique in detail and offer a relative clinical scenario for the app, Classification of Disease (ICD) 10 Consult. Name & Author: The creator of the ICD-10 Consult application is an ophthalmologist, Evan Schoenberg, M.D. Schoenberg possesses a crucial understanding of human functioning; therefore, other health care providers may find it useful application. The World Health Organization (WHO) has authorized the development of an adaptation and has copyright. Endorsement: The application database is derived from ICD10-CM listings by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). All of the codes are readily available, and their description is unmodified. Operation: The platform is compatible with web-based and mobile devices such as IOS and optimized for the Android operating system. It gives health care providers the ability to get to appropriate codes using physician terminology, instead of coding terminology.

I do not feel instructions are necessary because the searches are active as you type, narrowing down the codes very quickly. Cross-referencing of medical acronyms and synonyms and favorite lists allows the user to capture data quicker. The list of general codes with a brief description of the topic is on the home page. Upon browsing the various categories, the subcategories emphasize specific diseases or diagnoses. For example, index code E08 focuses on diabetes due to the underlying cause. Accessing this diagnosis will present information and codes regarding this disease. The "red to green" coding strategy ensures providers have adequately selected the proper code for every diagnosis. Purpose: ICD-10 Consult is a standard diagnostic tool allowing providers to search for comprehensive up-to-date resources. The application offers an alphabetize index containing codes for specific diseases, signs and symptoms, and external causes of diseases or injury. Not only does this application accommodate new procedures but it also has the potential to provide efficient and updated data for improving overall patient. In addition, monitoring the incidence and prevalence of diseases, recording of rare diseases, and dual coding for traditional medicine diagnoses are few components in this application (Hirsch et al., 2016). Clinical Decision Making: The ICD-10 influences clinical decision-making regarding codes at the point-of-care. In the example previously mentioned above regarding the code for diabetes E08, health care providers can narrow different codes to get reimbursed correctly.
