The transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes has potentially significant implications for quality measurement. Challenges include translating each measure by manual review, and reassessing the validity of each measure. Without this effort, all claims-based quality measures have unknown accuracy, affecting their use by providers, patients, and insurers.
从 ICD-9-CM 向 ICD-10-CM 诊断代码的转变可能对质量测量产生重大影响。挑战包括通过手动审查来翻译每个度量标准，并重新评估每个度量标准的有效性。如果不进行此工作，所有基于索赔的质量度量标准的准确性都是未知的，这会影响其在提供者、患者和保险公司中的使用。
