20 must-follow ICD-10 tweeters
It can be difficult to navigate through all the information Twitter puts out every second of every day – and there's a lot of it. Too often, the info that we're actually looking for and interested in goes unnoticed because of the deluge of perhaps less-than-valuable (to each of us as individuals and organizations) odds-and-ends demanding our attention.
With such big changes happening constantly in the healthcare world – especially with the impending ICD-10 transition – it's important to be able to find pertinent information in a timely fashion.
To help you be able to do that, we've cobbled together a list of some of the best ICD-10 tweeters currently out there. In the interest of full disclosure, Steff Deschenes writes for @ICD10Watch, a MedTech Media publication affiliated with this website.
