Code Mapping Directions

The I-MAGIC (Interactive Map-Assisted Generation of ICD Codes) Algorithm utilizes the  SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM Map  in a real-time, interactive manner to generate ICD-10-CM codes. You will use the I-MAGIC map to analyze the mappings, verify the SNOMED CT and ICD-10-10 codes, and make necessary corrections.

Directions:

1. Download the  template  Download template . This file contains the mapping of SNOMED CT codes and ICD-10-CM codes for ten diagnoses.

2. Open the following link:  I-MAGIC Mapper.   

3. Enter the diagnosis description, such as “low back pain” into the “Problem” field.

4. Click on “GET ICD Codes.” You may have to further refine the problem to locate the correct code.

5. Evaluate  both the SNOMED CT and ICD-10-CM codes.

6. Make any necessary corrections directly on the spreadsheet.

7. Enter the ICD-10-CM Code name. Make sure you include the entire ICD code name, not just a portion - you will not receive points if the names are not an exact match.

8. Click on the “Back to Problem List” to start with the next description.

9. After making the necessary corrections to the code mapping, submit your completed Excel file.

JC Delinquent Charts Directions

Scenario: You are the HIM Director at a hospital recently surveyed by the Joint Commission. Your department is using hybrid records. The following areas of noncompliance were reported:

· Operative reports are delinquent

· H&Ps are delinquent

In response, the Performance Improvement Committee has established a performance indicator threshold of 98.5% for monitoring ongoing compliance with meeting the operative report and H&P JC standards (measured against the average monthly operations and average monthly discharges, respectively). 

You have run a report of delinquencies for the past year and now must prepare the data for presentation to the PI committee.

Directions

1. Download the  2023 Delinquent Data Report  Download 2023 Delinquent Data Report (Excel file). You will input your answers on the spreadsheet and submit the completed Excel file.

2. Calculate the average monthly discharges for the year and enter in cell B15 (highlighted in yellow).

3. Calculate the average monthly operations for the year and enter in cell B16 (highlighted in red).

4. Calculate the allowable number of delinquent records based on a 50% requirement (hint: multiply the average monthly discharges by 50% - this is the number of records allowed to be delinquent). Enter in cell B17 (highlighted in blue).

5. Compare the figure from #4 to each month's total delinquent records to determine which months are out of compliance. Add a column to the spreadsheet to capture this data.

6. Calculate the allowable number of delinquent H&Ps based on the requirement of 98.5% completion. Compare this figure to each month's delinquent H&Ps to determine which months are out of compliance. Add a column to the spreadsheet to capture this data.

· Hint: This means only 1.5% of records may be delinquent. Use the average monthly discharges in your calculations.

7. Calculate the allowable number of delinquent operative reports based on the requirement of 98.5% completion. Compare this figure to each month's delinquent op reports to determine which months are out of compliance. Add a column to the spreadsheet to capture this data.

· Hint: This means only 1.5% of records may be delinquent. Use the average monthly operations in your calculations.

8. Format the data (add title/headings, remove highlighting, change column sizes to accommodate text, text formatting, etc.). It should be professional, easy to understand, and ready for committee presentation.

9. Extra credit: Use the built-in Excel formula functions for your calculations. +2 points for each correct use of formula.
