One of the dramatic changes soon taking place in the healthcare industry is the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 coding. Our national feature questions how this shift will affect coder productivity on the frontlines and suggests tips for easing the burden to keep records — and revenue — on track. This month's special clinical section focuses on men's health, offering fresh perspective to the debate on prostate-specific antigen based screenings. We also examine a new study that proposes prostatectomy may produce better long-term results than radiotherapy among patients with localized prostate cancer. In addition, our "That's News" section on Page 17 follows up this discussion by spotlighting three pertinent prostate cancer-related studies.
