My main questions would be, just as offices must move back and forth between two systems when transitioning to new accounting/billing software, would coders be coding off of both systems ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM (or would the encoder software be redesigned to generate an automated crosswalk--if that is possible--sort of like approximate translation between two languages with disparate grammatical structures--- )
for a period of at least one year during the months following (or even immediately prior to) the 2013 converson? I believe that will require a great deal of open-mindedness for change and flexibility on the part of the coders.
