The Tennessee Health Information Management Association has developed Best Practice Guidelines to assist THIMA members and healthcare professionals in the implementation of Tennessee’s new TN Together opioid legislation. The Guidelines will also be distributed by the Tennessee Hospital Association to leadership in member hospitals. Recommendations for the required informed consent, medical record documentation, and ICD-10 code assignment are included with documents in Word format. The documents are compliant with legislative requirements and may be customized by each organization.
