D-Day for ICD-10: Have you cancelled all leave for Oct.1?

Will it be an 'all-hands-on-deck' day, or will you be prepared in advance?

We're starting to hear that some hospitals are declaring October 1, 2015 an “all-hands-on-deck” day for the deadline to convert to ICD-10 coding. Some analysts believe that Congress may push the ICD-10 deadline back again, but there is no way of knowing at this point and hospitals will need to be ready.
