Editor’s Note: Following are results to Part 3 of our three-part reader survey on ICD-10-CM — Preparation for ICD-10 Implementation: “Things I Would Do Differently if I Could Start Over Again.” Part 1 results published in February and Part 2 results published in March. 
 

 Survey Part 3: ICD-10 Implementation Success Stories

Similar to Part 2, respondents to Part 3 of our survey included private-office qualified healthcare professionals (QHPs), QHPs who work in facilities (hospitals, wound care hospital-based outpatient departments [HOPDs], skilled nursing facilities, long-term care hospitals), wound care HOPDs managed by the hospital, and HOPDs managed by wound management companies. Therefore, we’re reviewing surveys here from these four perspectives. Table 3 below provides the success stories from each of these groups.
