Case Study East Jefferson General Hospital, which has some 450 beds, a staff of more than 3,000 healthcare professionals and over 700 physicians, provides a broad range of services for patients in Jefferson Parish, a suburb of New Orleans. In 2002, East Jefferson became the first hospital in Louisiana to earn the prestigious Magnet Status for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

The Challenge
East Jefferson was in the initial stages of planning for ICD-10 conversion and wanted an independent third party to assess its readiness for ICD-10 migration by performing a gap analysis; identifying opportunities and impacts; and developing an implementation strategy.

The Solution
Aspen was engaged to focus on East Jefferson's business and clinical areas along with its application suite to identify impacts and risks to achieving ICD-10 compliance. Aspen completed a business partner and vendor readiness assessment to assess plans for reaching compliance and to gain knowledge of their timelines and coordination efforts with East Jefferson.
