'ICD-10 Prep' ListServ: Communicating with Other ICD-10 Stakeholders

Rules for ICD-10 Prep ListServ The ICD-10 Prep ListServ is one the most highly valuable communication mechanisms that ICD-10 Planning and Implementation Program to utilize. We really appreciate the participation and exchange of ideas that take place here. We want to maximize the value of the ListServ for everyone, so please observe the rules.

  1. Every message must have a subject line.
  2. Subject lines must be relevant to the content of the message. Many people depend on the subject line to sort and file messages. Subject lines such as "Message to the ListServ" will not be forwarded to the ListServ.
  3. Messages should be brief, to the point, and address only one subject. If you have multiple unrelated questions, please put them in separate messages.
  4. NO BACKGROUNDS! Colored/graphical backgrounds increase the size of e-mail messages and make them harder to read. If you use a default background for your e-mail, please remove it before submitting messages to the ListServ.
  5. Be considerate and respectful in your selection of fonts and colors. Be aware that some font/color choices create the appearance of SHOUTING! Messages in non-standard fonts or colors will not be forwarded to the ListServ.
  6. Do not send personal responses to the ListServ. Remember if you hit "Reply" it means you are replying to the entire ListServ. Even if someone has been especially helpful to you, we will not forward "thank you" messages to the group. Use the "Forward" button to express your appreciation or other personal messages to individuals.
  7. Nothing that can remotely be construed as protected health information may be contained in the message body, images, or attachments. Demo patients must be clearly identified as such.
  8. Messages should not contain any type of software code (e.g. MUMPS code). If you have code that you believe would be of benefit to other users, please provide it to your Area Information Systems Coordinator and request that it be shared with other sites and Areas, and/or submit it to OIT as part of an enhancement request.
  9. The ListServ is not the Help Desk. The ListServ is great for answering questions about process and configuration, but if something is truly broken the ListServ will not fix it. Send your application problems to your local IT support person (usually the site manager). They will know the process for escalating the issue to the Area, and if necessary the OIT Help Desk.
  10. The ListServ is not the Feedback Page. If you have identified an interesting new enhancement possibility, please submit it through the RPMS Feedback page. No matter how interesting it is, please don't expect ListServ discussions to evolve into program enhancements.
  11. Please save your messages on your computer or register to access the ListServ archives (note: the ListServ archives are only available to those on the IHS Network). You can find instructions on how to access the ListServ archives below. To save the messages on your own computer, create a folder for the ListServ in your Personal Folders (.pst) and put messages there. You may find it useful to create one or more Outlook rules to send messages to your special folder (see below for instructions on how to do this). That way, when you know you've seen an answer to your question before, you can look first in your archive before sending it again to the list.
