    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 2000 Jul; 54(7):62-6. PubMed ID: 11009827.
    Abstract:
    As the uneasily awaited Medicare outpatient prospective payment system becomes reality July 1, hospital emergency department and outpatient clinics face an even greater need for accurate coding models and systems, as well as vigorous cost-reduction strategies.

Those organizations that have prepared effectively, however, may benefit under the prospective payment system.
