HHS Announces Intent to Delay ICD-10 Compliance Date

As part of President Obama’s commitment to reducing regulatory burden, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen G. Sebelius today announced that HHS will initiate a process to postpone the date by which certain health care entities have to comply with International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition diagnosis and procedure codes (ICD-10).

The final rule adopting ICD-10 as a standard was published in January 2009 and set a compliance date of October 1, 2013 – a delay of two years from the compliance date initially specified in the 2008 proposed rule. HHS will announce a new compliance date moving forward.

Seton Hall University is deploying a new wireless network which provides both increased throughput and security.  The main features are:

  • Up to three times the speed of the wired network, and six times the speed of the old wireless network when accessing on-campus resources.
  • Improved “enterprise grade” security and encryption.
  • Device configuration is possible without IT/Service Desk support.  Logging into the network simply requires your PirateNet ID and Password.

Windows XP and Vista operating systems, while they may work, will not be supported on this network.
