WEDI is an industry sponsored organization that also serves as an advisor to the Department of Health and Human Services. With each survey, the group released results to the public and has advised the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on issues found and offered recommendations, says Jim Daley, past chair of WEDI and now co-chair of the ICD-10 Workgroup. Hes also director of IT at BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina.
The most recent survey, conducted in February with almost 1,200 respondents and released in April, showed progress in some areas and considerable worry in others.
