ICD-10-CM from an optimistic coder's perspective
By Elizabeth Morgenroth
 In my discussions with coders in the past 18 months, I have found that each coder has a reaction to ICD-10-CM as unique as the person expressing it. The emotions associated with ICD-10-CM cover the complete spectrum — from joy to grief, happiness to rage, doubt to certainty. I have experienced each of these emotions, depending on the subject matter and situation. I realize not every coder shares my perception, but I am excited for ICD-10-CM and all it entails and offers in data integration and improved communication.
