Since October 1, 2015, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) was integrated into U.S. medical practices. This monumental transition seemingly occurred rather unceremoniously, despite significant opposition and reservations having been expressed by the provider community. In prior publications, we have described various survival strategies...

Coding productivity is expected to drop significantly during the lead-up to and in the initial stages of ICD-10-CM/PCS implementation, now expected to be delayed until October 1, 2015. This study examined the differences in coding productivity between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM/PCS for hospital inpatient cases matched for complexity and severity. Additionally, interrater reliability was calculated ...

1. Complex multiplication. We say an abelian variety A of dimension g over a field K admits sufficiently many Complex Multiplications (smCM) if D = End(A) contains a commutative semi-simple algebra Λ ⊂ D of rank dimQ(Λ) = [Λ : Q] = 2g. In this case we say A is a CM abelian variety. A point z ∈ Ag(k) is called a CM point if z is the moduli point of a polarized abelian variety z = [(A,μ)] such th...
