Seventy-two percent of CIOs in the survey thought the delay was positive. Twenty-eight percent thought the delay was a step in the wrong direction or thought it was a null event. Other findings from the survey include:
• Roughly 68 percent of CIO respondents said the postponement of ICD-10 was a good thing for the healthcare industry in general.
• Although most hospital CIOs believe the ICD-10 delay was a good thing, 84 percent will still push their ICD-10 projects forward as if the original Oct. 1, 2013, deadline were still in effect.
• When a new deadline is proposed, 76 percent believe it will not be more difficult to get organizational support.
• Eighty percent of hospital CIO respondents said they do not see a positive cost-benefit ratio in the ICD-10 conversion.
