* 3M Health Information Systems has three new functions in a next-generation version of its Coding and Reimbursement System, called CRS+. Hospitals now have access to a real-time display of reimbursement data from multiple insurers during a coding session, coding workflow that follows the look and design of ICD-10-PCS code tables, and a reporting function combines with a library of standard reports to analyze key metrics.
