The Road To ICd-10

ICD-10 codes must be used on all HIPAA transactions, which will include the diagnosis codes on outpatient claims with dates of service and inpatient claims with dates of discharge on or after October 1, 2014.

The conversion from HIPAA 4010 to 5010 for electronic transactions and the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 are all part of the Meaningful Use (MU) initiative.

This initiative is the key to modernizing healthcare by using Health Information Technology (HIT) to lead to improvements in the delivery of healthcare and move toward the goal of information exchange among healthcare professionals and national Electronic Health Records (EHRs). All stages are to be completed by 2015.

This ICD-10 Tip is brought to you by Precyse University. For more information, go to:

ICD is the most widely used statistical classification system for diseases in the world.

ICD codes are useful for recording illness diagnoses, symptoms, treatment, and medications.

ICD codes are extremely useful in identifying individual causes of death and support the cataloging of disease patterns and control.

These codes are universally accepted, even internationally, which helps in handling epidemics and in creating efficient broad-scale systems.

ICD codes help in developing automated systems for decision making for various treatments.

Mission and Ministry The Importance of Giving Thanks

R

udyard Kipling was one of the most famous writers at the turn of the twentieth century. He wrote short stories, poems and novels. Most of us are familiar with the cartoon adaptation of one of his works, “The Jungle Book”. During his lifetime he made a great deal of money through his writing. The story is told that one day a newspaper reporter approached him and said, “Mr. Kipling, I just read that somebody calculated that the money you make from your writings amounts to over $100 a word.” Mr. Kipling nonchalantly raised his eyebrows and said, “Really, I certainly wasn’t aware of that.” The reporter responded cynically and reached into his pocket and pulled out a $100 bill. He gave it to Kipling with a challenge, “Here’s a $100 bill Mr. Kipling. Now you give me one of your $100 words.” Rudyard Kipling paused for a moment, looked at that $100 bill, took it from the man, folded it up and put it in his pocket. Then turning to the reporter he said, “Thanks.”

“Thanks” is a word that has a powerful influence over our lives – so much so that feeling gratitude is one of the key predictors of happiness. As a country, we have set aside one day a year to give special attention to offering our thanks. It is easy to take that time and focus on the food we will get to eat, the relatives with whom we may or may not want to spend time, or the ever growing list of football games. We can lose sight of the very reason this day was set aside… to offer thanksgiving to God. As a community, we at Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics want to remember to give thanks for all that God has given to us. We have experienced another year of God’s blessings. One of the deepest expressions of gratitude is to be found in the generosity we share with others. Mother Frances, the foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, experienced great joy in her ability to care for others, particularly the most neglected, unwanted and unloved. It was her generosity born of thanksgiving that led to establishing schools, hospitals and clinics.

It is the foundation of the work in which we engage every day. Mother Frances wrote, “To devote our lives to prayer and then to spend ourselves in the service of the needy and suffering- this is our vocation. How better to share in the redemptive work of Christ than by alleviating the pains of body or dressing the wounds of the soul (Letter, Oct. 16, 1895)?” By doing this we say, “Thanks.”

Clinic News Intensive Medical Home Clinic The world of healthcare is changing. Overall, the population is older, and advanced age is usually accompanied by more health problems, more medicines and therefore more complexity. To serve this more medically complex patient, Trinity Clinic has created a new clinic called the Intensive Medical Home Clinic (IMHC). It has a slightly different approach than traditional primary care. The IMHC strives to deliver care through a team approach – much like care is delivered in the hospital setting. This team is made up of a nurse navigator, nurse, nurse practitioner, physician, pharmacist, medical assistant and clerical staff. Dr. Kimberley Bryant, medical director of the IMHC clinic explains, “The IMHC is an outgrowth of the ‘medical home’ concept of care. Much like an ICU in the hospital delivers intensive care to those in the hospital, this clinic will do that outside the hospital for those patients with multiple medical problems, multiple medications, or those patients who are overwhelmed by their medical illness and need more intense, one-on-one contact from a healthcare provider.”

These difficult situations often mean patients who are in need of several types of critical care are left with few options to actually receive it. But, the IMHC seeks to change that – and it is working. Take, for example, the success of one elderly couple: “One of the first patients was an elderly couple well known to their family physician as they were frequently in the office or hospital,” said Dr. Bryant. “It appeared to most that this couple was simply not caring for themselves as they should. The first visit a patient has with the IMHC is a long visit, at least an hour. During that time this couple opened up and shared that they were not following the treatment plan because they did not have the same goal as their physician. It was not their plan. Over the prolonged visit time, this sweet, devoted, elderly couple was able to communicate that they only wanted to be comfortable, but didn’t know how to say that. So, they had gone from doctor to doctor searching for something they didn’t know how to communicate. The IMHC team met this couple’s immediate need for healthcare and then came up with a plan that included a hospice referral. This was consistent with the couple’s goal of care.”

After a referral to the IMHC from a Trinity Clinic provider, the nurse navigator contacts the patient to inform them about the IMHC and set up an appointment. The first appointment should take at least 90 minutes. The nurse navigator – who functions much as a combination of a social worker, registered nurse and health coach – meets with the patient for approximately 30 minutes in order to address home health needs, safety, community resources and frequently, the ability to obtain medications or other prescribed services. After that, the patient will see either a family nurse practitioner (FNP) or a physician for an hour-long appointment. At the end of the appointment, they are given written instructions about home care and contact information for the IMHC. The clinic began operating in June, and has seen continued success as it develops and grows.

For more information on the IMHC, please call (903) 606-7034.

CrisisCARE Fund The Employee CrisisCARE (Caring And Reaching Employees) Fund was founded to provide financial support to employees of Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics during emergencies such as house fire, death, acts of violence, serious illness or injury. Since the CrisisCARE Fund’s inception, over 800 employees have received assistance.

The CrisisCARE Board is comprised of individuals who have a desire to oversee the disbursement of funds based on the CrisisCARE policy (B-10.0) Employees of TMFHC provide funding for this through the Foundation’s annual Share the Spirit of Giving campaign held each Spring.

Employees may nominate themselves or a co-worker by completing a request for assistance. The CrisisCARE form is available on Employee Self Service under Company Information and Forms.

Winnsboro News Celebrating 50 years in a career is quite an accomplishment. Celebrating 50 years in a career that you dearly love is exceptional. Shirley Hirt, RN, Surgery, Mother Frances Hospital Winnsboro, is doing just that.

Shirley graduated from Methodist Hospital School of Nursing Dallas in August, 1964. She began her career at Methodist Hospital Dallas circulating and assisting the physicians in the operating room.

Shirley left Methodist to begin work with a heart surgeon. She operated the heart/lung machine during open heart surgeries.

She returned to Methodist for a period of time before starting a stint with a renowned eye surgeon in the Dallas area. During that time she travelled abroad performing eye surgery in London, Germany and a three week tour of Europe. She was instrumental in establishing the first Medicare-approved outpatient eye care center in Texas.

After 10 years doing eye surgeries she returned to Methodist with the heart team. From there she joined an Anesthesiology Group.

In 1995, Shirley took a break from her career and moved to East Texas. In 2002 she went to work for the hospital in Winnsboro.

She remained there until 2006.

In 2010 I got the pleasure of meeting Shirley for the first time.

Many of the employees already knew her from her previous employment at the hospital. I hired Shirley to work PRN. She has become a treasured employee. Her smiling face, positive attitude, and work ethic are attributes every employer hopes to find in an employee. Fifty years, what a milestone!!

Liz Murphy, RN, BSN Manager, Surgery, Mother Frances Hospital Winnsboro

If not for you. Do it for THEM. GET VACCINATED. T

he symptoms of the flu can be mild, and you may simply think it is just a “mild cold” or “allergies,” when in fact YOU have the flu and are CONTAGIOUS. YOU can spread the flu virus 24 hours before you have any symptoms, and adults are considered contagious for five days after the onset of symptoms (children for 10 days). What does this mean? YOU are putting your patients, coworkers, family and friends at risk of catching the flu.

As healthcare providers we know that the most effective way to prevent the spread of this disease is annual vaccination. And the flu vaccine can prevent up to 90 percent of flu-specific illness in healthy adults. With numbers like that, why would you choose not to be vaccinated? Protect THEM by protecting yourself. Get your flu shot.

Roasted Vegetables Ingredients Fresh asparagus, diced Red pepper, diced 2 teaspoon black pepper Red onion, diced Fresh yellow squash, diced Vegetable oil spray Fresh zucchini, diced Fresh rosemary, chopped

Watch Out For The Flu Every year approximately 36,000 people die from the seasonal flu.

The timing of flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. in January or February. However, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May. Trinity Mother Frances flu season begins the day after Labor Day and ends March 31. Influenza can be transmitted while asymptomatic – allowing employees to spread the infection to patients and other staff before they know they are ill.

Most experts think that flu viruses are spread mainly by droplets made when people with the flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth or nose.

Flu vaccines are designed to protect against the influenza viruses that experts predict will be the most common during the upcoming season. Three kinds of influenza viruses commonly circulate among people today: Influenza A (H1N1) viruses, influenza A (H3N2) viruses, and influenza B viruses. Each year, these viruses are used to produce seasonal influenza vaccine. The influenza virus is constantly changing (called drift). The most predicted strains may not be an exact match to the actual strains that circulate through a community. Last year, the efficacy dropped during the second half of the season due to an antigenic shift. Therefore many people who were vaccinated still contracted influenza. Random events like these do not alter the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that all health care providers be vaccinated unless they have a valid medical or religious exemption. An egg free vaccine is available for those who are allergic to eggs. Employee Health will be placing a sticker on the badges of all vaccinated TMF employees and volunteers indicating the year vaccinated 2014.

You must take the vaccine or sign a valid declination form by Nov. 15th. In the event of a declared epidemic or pandemic, those not taking the vaccine may be required to wear a mask during the entire outbreak. For high risk areas with pediatric patients and/or immunocompromised patients, volunteers may have to be relocated for safety concerns. Such decisions will be made by a team of TMF administrative staff. If your only allergic symptom to the influenza vaccine in the past was hives, it is now safe to take the vaccine. A common myth is that the flu vaccine can give you the flu. This is false, the flu vaccine cannot cause flu illness. The viruses in the vaccine are either killed (flu shot) or weakened (nasal spray vaccine), which means they cannot cause infection.

There are several things you can do to help reduce your chances of getting the flu: 1. Get the Flu Shot - the first and most important step in protecting against the flu 2. Wash your hands often with soap and water, or an alcohol hand gel 3. Respiratory Etiquette: Cover your Cough, don a mask with an active cough 4. Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes and mouth 5. Get proper rest Hand Hygiene Campaign Washing your hands with soap and water or using the hand sanitizers is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infection.

Proper hand hygiene includes: • Soap and water or alcohol gel • Before and after patient contact • After patient contact before touching equipment • Before touching the patient after touching equipment • Wash with soap and water • After using the restroom • When hands are visibly soiled • When caring for a patient with diarrhea These precautions do not only prevent the spread of infections, they save lives. Thanks for keeping our patients safe. tmfhc.org 6

Human Resources News Life Insurance Questions Answered Trinity Mother Frances provides a Basic Life insurance policy, through Lincoln National Life, for all full-time staff employees (.80 fte and above) at no cost to employees. The amount of your life insurance is calculated at 1 and ½ times your annual base salary; rounded to the next $1,000. This is a Term life insurance policy and there is no cash value associated with the policy. Example: Base salary is $25,000.00 x 1.5 = Life insurance amount ($37,500.) rounded up to $38,000.00.

Accelerated Death Benefit If diagnosed as terminally ill (having 12 months or less to live).

You may be eligible to withdraw up to 75 percent of your life insurance coverage, to a maximum of $250,000. The death benefit paid to your beneficiary will be reduced by the amount withdrawn under the Accelerated Benefit option. To qualify, you must satisfy the Active Work rule and must have been covered under this policy for at least 12 months.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage is also included as part of your Life insurance policy.

If your death is due to an accident, the policy will pay an additional 1 and ½ times your base salary (Basic life amount doubles) to your beneficiary. Accidental Dismemberment insurance provides specified benefits for a covered accidental bodily injury that directly causes dismemberment (the loss of a hand, foot or eye).

TMF also offers an Optional Life Insurance program for full-time employees to purchase additional life insurance on yourself, your spouse and your children. The Optional Life Insurance program will be available during our annual Open Enrollment period.

Employees are encouraged to keep all Beneficiary records current. Beneficiary change forms are located on Employee Self-Serve under: Myself/Benefits/Links, then scroll down the page to: Basic Life Beneficiary form Voluntary Life Enrollment – indicate (x) Beneficiary Change.
