Data: There was a lack of…[Read more]

In my healthcare organization, we utilized the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) platform to address medication prescription errors, especially when doctors were unaware of patients’ allergies while prescribing medication. I believe this CDSS was integrated into our hospital platform, similar to Hosxp. The system proved to be highly…[Read more]

Most people have already discussed the disadvantages of not using ICD-10. I would like to explore hypothetical scenarios where not having ICD-10 could be considered advantageous.
