Fenwood Road ChangeFrom April 14 until Nov. 15, Fenwood Road, between Vining Street and Binney Street, will become a one-way street as construction continues on the Brigham Building for the Future and Shapiro tunnel. In addition, the sidewalk will be closed to pedestrians April 14-24 to allow for construction crews and equipment to maneuver around the area. Visit BWHPikeNotes.org for more information.
Special ICD-10 UpdateA federal bill created to temporarily "fix" the Medicare sustainable growth rate (SGR) for physicians also mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services cannot adopt the ICD-10 code set as the standard until at least Oct. 1, 2015, a one-year delay. BWHC will be reviewing the ICD-10 project timeline and assessing the impact of this delay. Training readiness and communication related to the ICD-10 project will continue, with revised dates likely based on the new implementation deadline. Email BWHCICD10@partners.org with questions.
