No World Borders, Inc., a leading health care IT and management consulting firm, today announced that it is a sponsor of the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) conference in Fairfax, today through July 15, 2010.
“The new Meaningful Use, electronic data interchange and medical coding standards have pervasive impact on every health care provider and insurance company in the United States. This event brings together some of the best minds in the industry regarding where the future of health care and health IT is going”
Michael F. Arrigo, president and CEO of No World Borders, said, "We think today is an important day for the health care industry, as US Health and Human Services (HHS) releases guidelines on Meaningful Use, which describe what every hospital and physician must do to comply with new medical information standards and receive approximately $20 billion in bonus Medicare payments for the adoption of electronic health records." Both of these must be in place for every health care company in the U.S. by October 1, 2013." Arrigo continued, "We strongly recommend that companies perform an ICD-10 assessment as well as a review of their HIPAA 5010 and other key initiatives using expertise that can help reduce risk and ensure they meet deadlines.
