NCHICA ICD-10 Testing Pilot

Lott QA Group and NCHICA have agreed to pilot test the Lott ICD-10 testing framework for end-to-end testing and trading partner certification program. This pilot delivers a shared work effort for test data, testing and trading partner coordination with clinically accurate test data at its core.

Software testing to eliminate application and business process errors has always been less expensive than correcting those errors once they reach production. Yet, despite its high ROI, testing is consistently underutilized by the healthcare industry. There has been too much reliance on mocking up data from a technical approach instead of sending and receiving what will actually be used in production.
As an industry we must realize that the human medical condition is not unique to any one entity. Instead, test cases can be designed to be shared across multiple providers, clearinghouses, healthplans and vendors. As unfunded mandates grow the industry must find ways to save millions of dollars in costs to make testing more affordable for all involved. The Lott Method for ICD-10 testing demonstrates this unique collaborative testing framework in a real world setting.
