Job Description
To obtain, analyse and interpret complex clinical data of all patients denoting diagnoses, co-morbidities, medical and surgical procedures, medical status and relevant family history information; accurately assigning codes using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems – Tenth Revision (ICD-10) and The Office of Population Censuses and Surveys Classification of Surgical Operations and Procedures – Fourth Revision (OPCS-4); ensuring that coded information is accurate, complete and timely, thereby contributing to essential management information for the Trust.
This is of paramount importance to prevent the loss of income to the Trust, particularly with agendas such as Payment by Results and the Waiting List Initiatives.
Understand the impact of coded data on the business aspects of the Trust, and thus be able to provide the information and advice to all health professionals and administrative staff of the nature and complexity of clinical coding and its purposes in areas such as patient care, clinical governance, clinical audit, finance, budgeting, data quality and research.
