  • APACHE Acute Dxs in ICD10 codes
• Which ICD10 blocks should the new dx fall into?
• Which ICD10 Categories should it be in?
• Do we need to update any of our Reports to accommodate the new dx?
• ICD10 guideline templates - do any apply to this code, do any need to be updated because it was added?
• Does the new dx necessitate updates to any of the ICD10 Dx Checks?
