  3.7. Final Rule Definition of "Meaningful Use"

In 1983, as a Data Architect and Designer, Technical Business Analyst and Application
Programmer for the BCBS Association in Chicago, I designed and developed (and
"coined") the first Inter-Plan Data Reporting file structure and programs for
Invoice Reimbursement, Reconciliation and Consolidation process of claims.  This
design structure is known as IPDR.  Thus creating the first common file format &
data content standardization that allowed the "Blues" and other health care
payers in all states to communicate more efficiently with each other in a timely
manner.  During that time, the Health Care industry wanted administrative
simplification in one format, one guide for all.  My work for the BCBSA helped start
it all.  During that time the ICD-9-CM was the code standard for the WHO's
International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems,
9th revision CM code set.
In 1997, after the development of the BootHill - The Death Registry Manager occured.
I kept tracked of a HealthCare Provider's patient expiration records.  There were
four classes of patients tha that died: In-patients, Out-patients, Still Born, and Emergency.
The important and inspiring field (column) was the Cause-Of-Death (COD).
Originally Doctors and/or Administrators would enter in the COD description not compatable
with the prefailing ICD-9 codes.  This impacted every HealthCare process.
So when I became aware of the ICD-9 codes in 1997 I decided to use this opportunity to self-train.
I then designed the object oriented program/module, the RDBMS schemas and sub-schemas,
algorythms, the SQL code for the ICD-9-CM codes standardizing the ICD-9-CM COD.
It was at that time I began design and development of the ICD 9-10 CM GEM Manager.
I searched the internet thru AOL dial-up until I found ICD-10 codes on the CDC.gov's ftp site.
In 1999/2000, development of the only ICD 9-10 CM GEM Manager
(International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems,
9th revision CM code set to the 10th revision CM code set General Equivalence Mapping)
took place. The system was designed to be used by Health Care entities to
research and map the ICD-9/10 codes.  Migration of the application from each
years version took place starting in 2000 thru to the 2011 version. This was
necessary because the ICD codes have been changing each year with additions,
deletions, definition and relationship changes.  There are ICD-GEM versions for platforms:
  • Client/Server
  • ASP.NET WebForms
  • ASP.NET WinForms
  • ASP.NET WPF (PB/Visual Studio Windows Presentation Foundation)
  • Classic ASP/AJAX (basic LookUp/Query)
