The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) was adopted in the United States on October 1, 2015. Replacing the outdated ICD, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) coding system was long overdue, and the updated classifications were needed to accurately collect data and improve patient care. However, the complexity of ICD-10 may present substantial challenges for health information management coders and affect hospital revenue collection. Because the OR generates a large share of a hospital's overall revenue, perioperative services personnel must take a critical look at ICD-10 changes and address adoption challenges to minimize the negative effects ICD-10 may have on surgical revenue and help personnel identify perioperative services' important role in ICD-10 implementation.
《国际疾病分类》第十次修订本（ICD - 10）于2015年10月1日在美国采用。取代过时的《国际疾病分类》第九次修订本临床修订版（ICD - 9 - CM）编码系统早就该进行了，需要更新分类以准确收集数据并改善患者护理。然而，ICD - 10的复杂性可能给健康信息管理编码人员带来重大挑战，并影响医院收入的收取。由于手术室产生医院总体收入的很大一部分，围手术期服务人员必须认真审视ICD - 10的变化，并应对采用过程中的挑战，以尽量减少ICD - 10可能对外科收入产生的负面影响，并帮助人员认识围手术期服务在ICD - 10实施中的重要作用。
