Assigning accurate codes is the key for quality information exchange for better care in healthcare.
So the clinical coders should have excellent attention to detail in order to produce high levels of coding accuracy, payment accuracy , quality care and meaningful research. To achieve the expected level of accuracy , clinical coders are developed with comprehensive training, practical oriented coding activities and evaluation criteria.
Australian Coding classification are following in Australia, New Zealand, Qatar, Singapore, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Fiji, Tonga, Hong Kong, Bahrain.
