I'd like to hear users' opinions of the CMS GEMS mapping of ICD-9 to ICD-10. A vendor made a good case to me of the defects within the GEMS mapping -- not just the unmapped codes, but also problematic mappings. I would be interested in hearing other points of view.
 
GEMS are to be used only for data trending purposes and never for coding individual patient cases.
