Welcome
Clinical Coding is the process whereby 'Clinical Activity' (diagnoses & procedures) is translated into a coded format.
Clinical Coders are vital members of the Multi Disciplinary Team working with a number of other health care professionals (such as Doctors, Psychiatrists, Physiotherapists, Pharmacists and others) providing seamless care provision for patients.
The Clinical Coders focus is to provide accurate, consistent and coded clinical data reflecting the activity of each Clinician.
The coded data is important for a whole range of purposes such as:
- Monitoring provision of health services across the UK
- Research and monitoring of health trends
- NHS financial planning and Payment by Results
- Local and National Clinical Coding Audit
- Clinical Governance
- Information Governance
High quality coded Clinical data is essential to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of statistical analysis. Of particular importance is the quality of that coded data as it underpins Payments by Results ensuring fair billing and fair payments by Commissioners.
With this in mind D & A provides a very comprehensive Clinical Coding Service which includes Auditing, Training, Mentoring, Consultancy and Contract Coding, to assist you in improving performance and ensuring accurate revenue.
