Are there only 3 Options for Taking Advantage of the ICD10 Delay? Or 4?

Within the medical industry, there's an enduring debate about the merits and upside of the i10 delay. This one is entitled 3 ways providers can take advantage of the ICD-10 delay.

Dontcha just LUV this quote: 

"From a hospital perspective, enough already," Linda Reed, vice president and chief information officer at Morristown, N.J.-based Atlantic Health, told FierceHealthIT. "We've spent the money, done the work and started all the training. From a physician practice perspective, I'm not sure giving another year would make any difference in readiness. The extension from 2013 to 2014 didn't."

Those words made me think of two very different scenarios and the motivations behind them:

  1) Doomsday preppers who shuddered as the clock struck midnight on the last day of 1999... 

  2) The purpose of procrastination, and its inevitable result...

Neither scenario relates to productive results.

People tend to find out that they can cope with reality once they decide to deal with it. That tends to lead to better and better consequences.

Read the rest of the 3 Options story,

then ask your legislators what they're doing to redress the ICD10 implementation delay.

By the way, I've identified a fourth option for taking advantage of the ICD10 delay: Learning from the mistake.

Male Sexual Dysfunction and BPA...

One of the male fans of this blog, Aryeh Zelasko, alerted me to the following news item:


Workplace BPA Exposure Increases Risk Of Male Sexual DysfunctionScienceDaily (Nov. 11, 2009) ­

High levels of workplace exposure to Bisphenol-A may increase the risk of reduced sexual function in men, according to a Kaiser Permanente study appearing in the journal Human Reproduction.

The five-year study examined 634 workers in factories in China, comparing workers in BPA manufacturing facilities with a control group of workers in factories where no BPA was present. The study found that the workers in the BPA facilities had quadruple the risk of erectile dysfunction, and seven times more risk of ejaculation difficulty.

This is the first research study to look at the effect of BPA on the male reproductive system in humans. Previous animal studies have shown that BPA has a detrimental effect on male reproductive system in mice and rats.

Funded by the U.S. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, this study adds to the body of evidence questioning the safety of BPA, a chemical made in the Exposure Increases Risk of Male Sexual Dysfunction production of polycarbonated plastics and epoxy resins found in baby bottles, plastic containers, the lining of cans used for food and beverages, and in dental sealants.

Read the rest of the article at Science Daily: Workplace BPA

Replace your plastic plates, cutlery, cups and the rest of your kitchenware with Cast Iron (skillets, utensils), Ceramic (mugs, plates, bowls, etc.), Fabric or genuine Paper Napkins and Place mats instead of synthetic varieties, Glass (jugs and drinkware), Porcelain (mixing bowls and pots), and Wood (dish raks, mixing bowls, serving pieces).

On the go? Drink from GLASS bottles (e.g., used wine and grape juice bottles washed clean for this purpose). And use metal trash cans instead of plastic.

By the way, consider reducing the above health risks to your children by removing all the plasticware at their table settings, in their toy supply and on their bottoms. Georgetown Universtiy Medical Center professional Dr. L. Silver and the Institute for Children's Environmental Health insist that plastic diapers and other items in childhood represent serious health concerns.

Sippy Cups/Training Cups Can be DANGEROUS for Children.

End your doubts and vulnerabilities. Live life on the safer side of chemical reality. You can still buy glass baby bottles, rubber nipples instead of synthetics, and cotton diapers (er, plastic-lined diapers have been proven to harm to baby's reproductive organs).

Read a book about how to ease into that reality and lots of other helpful stuff.

Real Men Don't Need Dairy Foods. NOBODY Does!

11 Iyar 5768


It takes A LOT to make me post a Friday update. I like long weekends ;^ )

But this update shouldn't wait. MEN, this one's for you.

ACCORDING TO this Departments of Nutrition and Epidemiology Harvard University School of Public Heath study, dairy intake can cause PROSTATE CANCER in men.

Skip the Milk Mustache.

Many people unwittingly endanger their health with dairy products. Lots of adults believe that dairy foods are nutritional for human bodies. "They're not," according to Dr. Neal Barnard of The Physician's Committe for Responsible Medicine. He often speaks of clinical evidence showing that human consumption of dairy foods can lead to diabetes and other health problems.

Cow milk is good for young cows and goat milk is great for kids with four feet, tails and shaggy coats. But the stuff's NOT for humans.

Organic or not, dairy items do not belong in human bodies past infancy. The ideal form of dairy nutrition for human infants comes only from Mommy. Second best (if Mommy can't provide) is a baby-compatible formula.

See this information-packed site to learn about actual medical evidence that DAIRY DOES YOU NO GOOD. IT HARMS YOU.

Men, lose the belly fat. Get your 6-pak abs in shape without dangerous dairy foods. Ladies, learn from the guys. Trim your form and improve your overall health by banning dairy foods from your menu.

And get a load of this insight about how DAIRY FOODS CAN DAMAGE your BONES AND THE REST OF YOUR BODY: OSTEOPOROSIS.
