  Conversion to ICD 10 from ICD 9 coding for insurance billing: The drastic change in coding took place October 1, 2015. Prior to this, we dealt regularly with a small number of codes, without much specificity. For example, the single code for sprained ankle in ICD 9 was replaced by multiple codes in ICD 10 documenting right or left ankle, a choice of 8 ligaments which might be affected, documentation of cause, and whether or not it was a first visit for condition, follow up visit, sequelae. This specificity was demanded of most of our diagnostic codes. We spent much of the summer preparing training for our providers and working with our EMR to fine tune our code searches and code choices. The coding training took place the first week our 9 month providers returned in August. We also worked with Navicure, our claims management system. Megan Wood, our billing specialist, learned the new system and worked to resubmit claims that were rejected for improper coding. She did quite a bit of troubleshooting regarding billing software glitches due to the changeover. She also provided feedback to the providers to enhance our revenue return. The expectation was a long learning curve, an initial decrease in provider productivity and in revenue. This did not happen. In fact, our billing revenue for FY 2016 as of June 10, 2016 is $24,949 more than for the entire FY 2015.

  Flu immunization initiative: Until this year, only two flu clinics were offered on campus, one in the commuter cafeteria, run by Maxim Health and one in the College of Law, run by Walgreen’s Both clinics were open to students, faculty and staff. Some flu vaccination was also done at Student Health Services, but chiefly to SHS employees. During A/Y 2014/2015 a total of 141 flu immunizations were given on campus. We developed a goal of increasing the immunizations by 25% for AY 2015/2016. This goal dovetailed perfectly with Marianne Sullivan’s DNP capstone project which involved increasing student immunization rates by scheduling clinics at convenient times and places. One hundred forty-two immunizations were administered by Maxim and Walgreens, 81 given at scheduled Student Health Services visits and 120 at clinics scheduled at various areas on campus. For a total of 343. This was a 143% increase from the 141 administered AY 2024/2015.
  

• 
  NP staffing: One of our greatest challenges was decreased NP staffing. Our 24 hour NP resigned two weeks before classes began. We searched for a replacement and one of our full-time NP’s, Anne Duggan, took the position in January. This resulted in a full-time vacancy throughout the spring semester. Marianne Sullivan took on an increased patient and time load as did the director. Despite the decreased staffing, students were seen in a timely manner. We are currently searching to replace Anne as well as to replace Kuei-Fu Ting who will be retiring 9/2016.
