  • Fragility Fractures: An Underdiagnosed Epidemic
    Jul 29 2025

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), accidental falls are the leading cause of injury for adults 65 and older, with more than 1 in 4 older adults reporting falls every year.

    During the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesday, Dr. James S. Kennedy will discuss the clinical concept of the “fragility fracture,” and how the under-documentation of fragility fractures results in inaccurate ICD-10-CM coding, adversely affecting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) MS-DRGs, hospital-acquired conditions (HACs), and other quality measures. Be sure that your coding supervisor, clinical documentation integrity (CDI) director, and quality teams listen in to partner collectively with the medical staff with identifying this prevalent condition.

  • Addiction: The Troubling Issue with Huge Impacts
    Jul 22 2025

    Substance abuse is a pervasive issue with profound implications for hospitals.

    It has been estimated that up to 25 percent of hospitalized patients have a substance abuse disorder. And up to 44 percent of these patients abuse some substance during hospitalization. The annual estimated hospital cost for treating substance abuse disorders is as high as $13 billion.

    But it’s not limited to patients, according to physician and attorney Dr. John K. Hall, who will be the special guest during the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays.

    According to Dr. Hall, estimates show that up to 15 percent of physicians and 20 percent of nurses also have a substance abuse disorder. It affects patient outcomes, hospital operations, financial health, and the broader healthcare system. The complexity of substance use disorders requires a nuanced understanding of diagnostic categories, accurate coding, and awareness of the legal and employment ramifications.
