The Impending Arrival of ICD-10: How Can You Cope?
On Oct 1, 2013, any radiology work has to proceed regulating a International Classification of Disease 10 (ICD-10), instead of ICD-9. This will move measureless complications for radiologists in their billing as good as remuneration procedures. Is ICD-10 beneficial, a official burden, or a bit of both? And, in any event, what have been a most appropriate measures we as good as your staff can take to prepare?

The Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey is a multi-mission, military, tiltrotor aircraft with both a true receiving moody as good as alighting (VTOL), as good as reduced receiving moody as good as alighting (STOL) capability. It is written to mix a functionality of a compulsory helicopter with a long-range, high-speed journey opening of a turboprop aircraft.
The V-22 originated from a U.S. Department of Defense Joint-service Vertical take-off/landing Experimental (JVX) aircraft module due in 1981. It was grown mutually by a Bell Helicopter, as good as Boeing Helicopters team, good known as Bell Boeing, which furnish a aircraft.[4] The V-22 primary flew in 1989, as good as began years of moody contrast as good as pattern alterations.
The United States Marine Corps began organisation precision for a Osprey in 2000, as good as fielded it in 2007. The Osprey’s alternative operator, a U.S. Air Force fielded their chronicle of a tiltrotor in 2009. Since entering work with a U.S. Marine Corps as good as Air Force, a Osprey has been deployed for fight operations in Iraq as good as Afghanistan.

Development
Early development
The disaster of a Iran warrant rescue mission in 1980 demonstrated to a United States infantry a need[5] for "a ultimate sort of aircraft, which could not usually take off as good as land plumb though additionally could lift fight troops, as good as do so during speed."[6] The U.S. Department of Defense began a Joint-service Vertical take-off/landing Experimental (JVX) aircraft module in 1981, underneath U.S. Army leadership. Later a U.S. Navy/Marine Corps took a lead.[7][8] The JVX sum mandate from a Marine Corps, Air Force, Army as good as Navy.[9][10] A ask for proposals (RFP) was released in Dec 1982 for JVX rough pattern work. Interest in a module was voiced by Aérospatiale, Bell Helicopter, Boeing Vertol, Grumman, Lockheed, as good as Westland. The DoD pushed for contractors to form teams. Bell partnered with Boeing Vertol. The Bell Boeing group submitted a suggest for a lengthened chronicle of a Bell XV-15 antecedent upon seventeen Feb 1983. This was a usually suggest perceived as good as a rough pattern stipulate was awarded upon twenty-six Apr 1983.[11][12]
The JVX aircraft was directed towards V-22 Osprey upon fifteen Jan 1985; by Mar which same year a primary 6 prototypes were being produced, as good as Boeing Vertol was stretched to understanding with a devise workload.[13][14] Work has been apart uniformly in in in between Bell as good as Boeing. Bell Helicopter manufactures as good as integrates a wing, nacelles, rotors, expostulate system, tail surfaces, as good as abaft ramp, as good as integrates a Rolls-Royce engines as good as performs last assembly. Boeing Helicopters manufactures as good as integrates a fuselage, cockpit, avionics, as good as moody controls.[4][15] The USMC assorted of a Osprey perceived a MV-22 nomination as good as a Air Force assorted perceived CV-22; topsy-turvy from normal procession to forestall Marine Ospreys from carrying a opposing nomination with aircraft carriers (CV).[16] Full-scale growth of a V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft began in 1986.[2] On 3 May 1986 a Bell-Boeing partnership was awarded a .714 billion stipulate for V-22 aircraft by a Navy, to illustrate during this indicate a devise had merger skeleton with all 4 arms of a U.S. military.[17]
The primary V-22 was rolled out with poignant media courtesy in May 1988.[18][19] However a devise suffered multiform domestic blows. Firstly in a same year, a Army left a program, citing a need to concentration a bill upon some-more evident aviation programs.[20] The devise additionally faced substantial discourse in a Senate, flourishing twin votes which both could have resulted in cancellation.[21][22] Despite a Senate’s decision, a Department of Defense educated a Navy not to outlay some-more income upon a Osprey.[23] At a same time, a Bush administration sought a termination of a project.[23]
Flight contrast as good as pattern changes
The primary of 6 MV-22 prototypes primary flew upon nineteen Mar 1989 in a helicopter mode,[24] as good as upon fourteen Sep 1989 as a fixed-wing plane.[25] The third as good as fourth prototypes successfully finished a Osprey’s primary Sea Trials upon a USS Wasp in Dec 1990.[26] However, a fourth as good as fifth prototypes crashed in 1991-92.[27] Flight tests were resumed in Aug 1993 after changes were incorporated in a prototypes.[2] From Oct 1992 until Apr 1993, Bell as good as Boeing redesigned a V-22 to revoke dull weight, facilitate have as good as revoke prolongation costs. This redesigned chronicle became a B-model.[28]
Flight contrast of 4 full-scale growth V-22s began in early 1997 when a primary pre-production V-22 was delivered to a Naval Air Warfare Test Center, Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. The primary EMD moody took place upon 5 Feb 1997. The primary of 4 low rate primary production aircraft, systematic upon twenty-eight Apr 1997, was delivered upon twenty-seven May 1999. Osprey series 10 finished a program’s second Sea Trials, this time from a USS Saipan in Jan 1999.[2] During outmost bucket contrast in Apr 1999, Boeing used a V-22 to lift as good as ride a M777 howitzer.[29] In 2000, Boeing voiced which a V-22 would be propitious with a nose-mounted GAU-19 Gatling gun,[30] though a GAU-19 gun was after canceled.[31]
In 2000, there were twin serve lethal crashes, murdering a sum of nineteen Marines, as good as a prolongation was again halted whilst a means of these crashes was investigated as good as assorted tools were redesigned.[32] The V-22 finished a last operational analysis in Jun 2005. The analysis was deemed successful; events enclosed prolonged operation deployments, tall altitude, dried as good as shipboard operations. The problems identified in assorted accidents had been addressed.[33]
Controversy
The V-22′s growth slight has been prolonged as good as controversial, partly due to a vast price increases.[34] When a growth budget, primary programmed for .5 billion in 1986, increasing to a projected billion in 1988, then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney attempted to 0 out a funding. He was in a destiny overruled by Congress.[32] As of 2008, billion have been outlayed upon a Osprey module as good as an additional .2 billion will be compulsory to finish programmed prolongation numbers by a finish of a program.[2]
The V-22 squadron’s former commander in chief in chief in chief during Marine Corps Air Station New River, Lt. Colonel Odin Lieberman, was relieved of avocation in 2001 after allegations which he educated his section which they indispensable to reproduce upkeep annals to have a craft crop up some-more reliable.[2][35] Three officers were after concerned in a forgery scandal.[34]
The aircraft is unqualified of autorotation, as good as is thus incompetent to land safely in helicopter mode if both engines fail. A executive of a Pentagon’s contrast bureau in 2005 pronounced which if a Osprey loses energy whilst drifting similar to a helicopter next 1,600 feet (490 m), puncture landings "are not expected to be survivable". But Captain Justin (Moon) McKinney, a V-22 pilot, says which this will not be a problem, "We can spin it in to a craft as good as slip it down, usually similar to a C-130".[31] A finish detriment of energy would need a disaster of both engines, as a expostulate missile connects a nacelles by a wing; a single engine can energy both proprotors.[36] While vortex ring state (VRS) contributed to a lethal V-22 accident, a aircraft is reduction receptive to a condition than compulsory helicopters as good as recovers some-more quickly.[5] The Marines right away sight ultimate pilots in a approval of as good as liberation from VRS as good as have instituted operational pouch boundary as good as orchestration to assistance pilots equivocate VRS conditions.[32][37]
It was programmed in 2000 to supply all V-22s with a nose-mounted Gatling gun, to yield "the V-22 with a clever defensive firepower capacity to severely enlarge a aircraft’s survivability in antagonistic actions."[30] The nose gun devise was canceled however, heading to critique by late Marine Corps Commandant General James L. Jones, who is not confident with a stream V-22 armament.[31] A belly-mounted turret was after commissioned upon a small of a primary V-22s sent to a War in Afghanistan in 2009.[38]
With a primary fight deployment of a MV-22 in Oct 2007, Time Magazine ran an essay condemning a aircraft as unsafe, overpriced, as good as utterly inadequate.[31] The Marine Corps, however, responded with a avowal which most of a article’s interpretation were dated, obsolete, inaccurate, as good as reflected expectations which ran as well tall for any ultimate margin of aircraft.[39]
Recent development
On twenty-eight Sep 2005, a Pentagon rigourously authorized full-rate prolongation for a V-22.[40] The devise is to progress prolongation from eleven a year to in in in between twenty-four as good as 48 a year by 2012. Of a 458 sum planned, 360 have been for a Marine Corps, 48 for a Navy, as good as 50 for a Air Force during an normal price of 0 million per aircraft, together with growth costs.[2] The V-22 had an incremental flyaway price of million per aircraft in 2007,[3] though a Navy hopes to trim about million off which price after a five-year prolongation stipulate starts in 2008.[41]
The Bell-Boeing Joint Project Office in Amarillo, Texas will pattern a ultimate integrated avionics processor to finalise wiring obsolescence issues as good as supplement ultimate network capabilities.[42]
Design
The Osprey is a world’s primary prolongation tiltrotor aircraft, with a single three-bladed proprotor, turboprop engine, as good as smoothness nacelle mounted upon any wingtip. It is personal as a powered lift aircraft by a Federal Aviation Administration.[43] For receiving moody as good as landing, it typically operates as a helicopter with a nacelles true (rotors horizontal). Once airborne, a nacelles stagger brazen 90° in as small as twelve seconds for plane flight, converting a V-22 to a some-more fuel-efficient, higher-speed turboprop airplane. STOL rolling-takeoff as good as alighting capacity is completed by carrying a nacelles slanted brazen up to 45°. For compress storage as good as transport, a V-22′s wing rotates to align, front-to-back, with a fuselage. The proprotors can additionally overlay in a method receiving 90 seconds.[44]
Most Osprey missions will work bound wing moody 75 percent or some-more of a time, shortening wear as good as rip upon a aircraft as good as shortening operational costs.[45] This bound wing moody is aloft than standard helicopter missions permitting longer operation line-of-sight communications as good as so softened authority as good as control.[2] Boeing has settled a V-22 pattern loses 10% of a true lift over a Tiltwing pattern when handling in helicopter mode given of airflow insurgency due to a wings, though which a Tiltrotor pattern has improved reduced receiving moody as good as alighting performance.[46]
The V-22 is versed with a glass cockpit, which incorporates 4 Multi-function displays (MFDs) as good as a single usual Central Display Unit (CDU), permitting a pilots to arrangement a accumulation of images including: digimaps centered or decentered upon stream position, FLIR imagery, primary moody instruments, navigation (TACAN, VOR, ILS, GPS, INS), as good as complement status. The moody executive row of a Cockpit Management System (CMS) allows for fully-coupled (aka: autopilot) functions which will take a aircraft from brazen moody in to a 50-foot float with no commander in chief in chief information exchnage alternative than programming a system.[47] The potion cockpit of a canceled CH-46X was successive from a V-22.[48]
The V-22 is a fly-by-wire aircraft with triple-redundant moody carry out systems.[49] With a nacelles indicating true up in acclimatisation mode during 90° a moody computers authority a aircraft to fly similar to a helicopter, with intermittent forces being practical to a compulsory swashplate during a rotor hub. With a nacelles in ride mode (0°) a flaperons, rudder, as good as conveyor fly a aircraft similar to an airplane. This is a light passing from a single to another as good as occurs over a revolution operation of a nacelles. The reduce a nacelles, a larger outcome of a airplane-mode carry out surfaces.[50] The nacelles can stagger past true to 97.5° for to a rear flight.[51][52]
The Osprey can be armed with a single M240 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 in caliber) or M2 .50 in caliber (12.7 mm) machine gun upon a loading ramp, which can be dismissed to a rear when a ramp is lowered. A GAU-19 three-barrel .50 in gatling gun mounted next a V-22′s nose has additionally been complicated for destiny upgrade.[31][53] BAE Systems grown a remotely operated turreted weapons complement for a V-22,[54] which was commissioned upon half of a primary V-22s deployed to Afghanistan in 2009.[38] The 7.62 mm swell gun turret is remotely operated by a gunner inside a aircraft, who acquires targets with a apart pod regulating tone radio as good as forward seeking infrared imagery.
U.S. Naval Air Systems Command is operative upon upgrades to enlarge a extent speed from 250 knots (460 km/h; 290 mph) to 270 knots (500 km/h; 310 mph), enlarge helicopter mode rise extent from 10,000 feet (3,000 m) to 12,000 feet (3,700 m) or 14,000 feet (4,300 m), as good as enlarge lift performance.[55]
Operational history
US Marine Corps
Marine Corps organisation precision upon a Osprey has been conducted by VMMT-204 given Mar 2000. On 3 Jun 2005, a Marine Corps helicopter squadron Marine Medium Helicopter 263 (HMM-263), stood down to proceed a slight of transitioning to a MV-22 Osprey.[56] On 8 Dec 2005, Lieutenant General Amos, commander in chief in chief in chief of a II MEF, supposed a smoothness of a primary swift of MV-22s, delivered to HMM-263. The section reactivated upon 3 Mar 2006 as a primary MV-22 armed infantry craft as good as was redesignated VMM-263. On 31 Aug 2006, VMM-162 (the former HMM-162) followed suit. On twenty-three Mar 2007, HMM-266 became Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 (VMM-266) during Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina.[57]
The Osprey has been replacing existent CH-46 Sea Knight squadrons.[58] The MV-22 reached primary operational capacity (IOC) with a U.S. Marine Corps upon thirteen Jun 2007.[1] On 10 Jul 2007 an MV-22 Osprey landed aboard a Royal Navy aircraft carrier, HMS Illustrious in a Atlantic Ocean. This noted a primary time a V-22 had landed upon any non-U.S. vessel.[59]
On thirteen Apr 2007, a U.S. Marine Corps voiced which it would be promulgation 10 V-22 aircraft to Iraq, a Osprey’s primary fight deployment. Marine Corps Commandant, General James Conway, indicated which over 150 Marines would attend with a Osprey set for Sep deployment to Al-Asad Airfield.[60][61] On seventeen Sep 2007, 10 MV-22Bs of VMM-263 left for Iraq aboard a USS Wasp. The preference to work a boat rsther than than work a Osprey’s self-deployment capacity was done given of concerns over topping during a North Atlantic apportionment of a trip, miss of permitted KC-130s for mid-air refueling, as good as a accessibility of a USS Wasp.[62]
The Osprey has supposing await in Iraq, racking up a small 2,000 moody hours over 3 months with a goal means accessibility rate of 68.1% as of late-January 2008.[63] They have been essentially used in Iraq’s horse opera Anbar province for slight load as good as couple movements, as good as additionally for riskier "aero-scout" missions. General David Petraeus, a tip U.S. infantry commander in chief in chief in chief in Iraq, used a single to fly around Iraq upon Christmas Day 2007 to revisit troops.[64] Then-presidential claimant Barack Obama additionally flew in Ospreys during his tall form 2008 debate of Iraq.[65]
The usually vital complaint has been obtaining a required gangling tools to say a aircraft.[66] The V-22 had flown 3,000 sorties totaling 5,200 hours in Iraq as of Jul 2008.[67] USMC care pattern to muster MV-22s to Afghanistan in 2009.[66][68] General George J. Trautman, III praised a increasing operation of a V-22 over a bequest helicopters in Iraq as good as pronounced which "it incited his conflict space from a distance of Texas in to a distance of Rhode Island."[69]
Naval Air Systems Command has devised a proxy repair for sailors to place unstable feverishness shields underneath Osprey engines to forestall repairs to a decks of a small of a Navy’s not as big amphibious ships, though they dynamic which a prolonged tenure resolution to a complaint would need these decks be redesigned with feverishness resistant rug coatings, pacifist thermal barriers as good as changes in boat make up in sequence to work V-22s as good as F-35Bs.[70]
A Government Accountability Office investigate reported which by Jan 2009 a Marines had twelve MV-22s handling in Iraq as good as they managed to successfully finish all reserved missions. The same inform found which a V-22 deployments had goal means rates averaging 57% to 68% as good as an altogether full goal means rate of usually 6%. It additionally settled which a aircraft had shown debility in situational awareness, maintenance, shipboard operations as good as a capability to ride infantry as good as outmost cargo.[71] That investigate additionally resolved which a "deployments reliable which a V-22's extended speed as good as operation capacitate organisation as good as inner load to be ecstatic faster as good as over than is probable with a bequest helicopters it is replacing".[71]
The MV-22 saw a primary descent fight mission, Operation Cobra’s Anger upon 4 Dec 2009. Ospreys assisted in inserting 1,000 Marines as good as 150 Afghan infantry in to a Now Zad Valley of Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan to interrupt information exchnage as good as supply lines of a Taliban.[38] In Jan 2010 a MV-22 Osprey is being sent to Haiti as partial of Operation Unified Response use efforts after a trembler there. This will be a primary work a Marine V-22 in a charitable mission.[72]
US Air Force
The Air Force’s primary operational CV-22 Osprey was delivered to a 58th Special Operations Wing (58th SOW) during Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico upon twenty Mar 2006. This as good as successive aircraft will turn partial of a 58th SOW’s swift of aircraft used for precision pilots as good as organisation members for special operations use.[73] On sixteen Nov 2006, a Air Force strictly supposed a CV-22 in a rite conducted during Hurlburt Field, Florida.[74]
The US Air Force’s primary operational deployment of a Osprey sent 4 CV-22s to Mali in Nov 2008 in await of Exercise Flintlock. The CV-22s flew nonstop from Hurlburt Field, Florida with in-flight refueling.[5] AFSOC spoken which a 8th Special Operations Squadron reached Initial Operational Capability upon sixteen Mar 2009, with 6 of a programmed 9 CV-22s operational.[75]
In Jun 2009, CV-22s of a 8th Special Operations Squadron delivered 43,000 pounds (20,000 kg) of charitable reserve to remote villages in Honduras which were not permitted by compulsory vehicles.[76] In Nov 2009, a 8th SO Squadron as good as a 6 CV-22s returned from a three-month deployment in Iraq.[77]
The primary probable fight detriment of an Osprey occurred upon 9 April, 2010, as a CV-22 went down nearby Qalat, Zabul Province, Afghanistan, murdering four.[78][79]
Potential operators
In 1999 a V-22 was complicated for work in a United Kingdom’s Royal Navy,[80] it has been lifted multiform times as a claimant for a purpose of Maritime Airborne Surveillance as good as Control (MASC).[81]
Israel had shown seductiveness in a squeeze of MV-22s, though no sequence was placed.[82][83] Flightglobal reported in late 2009 which Israel has motionless to wait for for a CH-53K instead.[84]
The V-22 Osprey is a claimant for a Norwegian All Weather Search as good as Rescue Helicopter (NAWSARH) which is programmed to reinstate a Westland Sea King Mk.43B of a Royal Norwegian Air Force in 2015.[85] The alternative possibilities for a NAWSARH stipulate of 10-12 helicopters have been AgustaWestland AW101 Merlin, Eurocopter EC225, NHIndustries NH90 as good as Sikorsky S-92.[86]
Bell Boeing has done an unsolicited suggest of a V-22 for US Army medical evacuation needs.[87] However a Joint Personnel Recovery Agency released a inform which pronounced which a usual helicopter pattern would be indispensable for both fight liberation as good as healing depletion as good as which a V-22 would not be befitting for liberation missions given of a worry of raise operations as good as miss of self-defense capabilities.[88]
The US Navy stays a intensity user of a V-22, though a purpose as good as goal with a Navy stays unclear. The ultimate suggest is to reinstate a C-2 Greyhound with a V-22 in a swift logistics role. The V-22 would have a value of being means to land upon as good as await non-carriers with fast smoothness of reserve as good as people in in in between a ships of a taskforce or to ships upon unit over helicopter range.[89] Loren B. Thompson of a Lexington Institute has referred to V-22s for work in combat poke as good as rescue as good as Marine One VIP transport, which additionally need deputy aircraft.[90]

Notable accidents
Main article: Accidents as good as incidents involving a V-22 Osprey
From 1991 to 2000 there were 4 poignant crashes, as good as a sum of thirty fatalities, during testing.[32] Since apropos operational in 2007, a V-22 has had a single probable fight detriment due to an different cause, no waste due to accidents, as good as 7 alternative notable, though minor, incidents.
• On eleven Jun 1991, a mis-wired flight carry out system led to twin teenager injuries when a left nacelle struck a belligerent whilst a aircraft was hovering 15 feet (4.6 m) in a air, causing it to rebound as good as locate fire.[97]
• On twenty Jul 1992, a leaking gearbox led to a glow in a right nacelle, causing a aircraft to dump in to a Potomac River in front of an assembly of Congressmen as good as alternative supervision officials during Quantico, murdering all 7 upon house as good as education a aircraft for eleven months.[98]
• On 8 Apr 2000, a V-22 installed with Marines to copy a rescue, attempted to land during Marana Northwest Regional Airport in Arizona, stalled when a right rotor entered spiral ring state, rolled over, crashed, as good as exploded, murdering all nineteen upon board.[37]
• On eleven Dec 2000, after a inauspicious hydraulic trickle as good as successive program instrument failure, a V-22 fell 1,600 feet (490 m) in to a timberland in Jacksonville, North Carolina, murdering all 4 aboard. This caused a Marine Corps to belligerent their swift of 8 V-22s, a second education which year.[99][100]
