Not a lot of ICD-10 progress was made in 2013. Some elements of the healthcare industry are even less prepared than they were back in January while quite a few of them have made considerable progress and are well ahead of the ICD-10 implementation deadline.

Given the fact that healthcare organizations had a lot to do in 2013 including Meaningful Use, payment reform and HIPAA Omnibus Rule, it is hardly surprising to see that ICD-10 deadline was pushed a year back.
