There are only a few spots left for the Annual Clinical Coding Education Day. Registrations close on Friday 12th July so don’t miss out!

Confusing documentation, when do I start and stop, do I count the AIRVO, what if they return to theatre intubated, when to stop counting.. what is weaning?? Don't forget to register for our clinical coding education day in Sydney where we tackled all the common issues that surround the counting and coding of ventilation! With clinical updates from an ICU doctor, a clinical coding presentations, case studies AND Q and A, you will leave the day confident in coding all things ventilation! Register at https://lnkd.in/gcHxRiHa Can't wait to see you. Spots are limited, don't miss out. We will start a wait list soon too! (just in case) #clinicalcoding #ICD10 #Healthinformationmanger #healthcare #education

Embark on a thrilling ride through the life of a clinical coder, where each day unfolds like a chapter from a detective novel. Morning: The day kicks off with a leisurely stroll, man’s best friend by your side, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the local café. The Hospital Chronicles: Dialing into the digital fortress, you’re ready to decipher the day’s medical mysteries. With the month’s end looming, the race is on to wrap up the coding conundrums. The Case of the Missing Mesh: Your first case is a patient with ‘removal of mesh’, the ‘why’ is elusive. You pen a query. The Lost Reports: You sift through records, looking for missing operation report. You piece together the story from the fragments left behind. The Heart of the Matter: A patient with chest pain enters the scene, their angiogram a map to hidden ailments. The question lingers – was there a Left Heart Catheterisation? The Feverish Mystery: An elderly patient presents with a fever, the cause as baffling to the clinicians as ever. After days of investigation, they’re sent home, the riddle unsolved. The Battle Against Cancer: Next, a warrior with cancer and a fever, bearing the scars of battle – an infected wound. The operation report is a missing, found at last in a misplaced scan. Their recovery is slow, and home awaits with Hospital in the Home (HITH). The Antibiotic Conundrum: Another elder, a new challenge, begins Vancomycin – but why? A history of MRSA is the only clue. The Carer’s Dilemma: A tale of love and exhaustion unfolds as a wife reaches her limit. Her husband, a fighter against colon and possibly anal cancer, becomes your next quest for clarity. The Reversal and the Adhesions: A patient’s journey back from an ileostomy is marked by adhesions. A query is sent – are these due to previous surgeries? The Long Stay: A 19-day saga of vomiting and hypokalaemia beckons. Beneath the surface lies a diabetic with a gangrenous wound. Antibiotics commence, but the patient worsens with diarrhoea due to the antibiotics. The Day’s Finale: The curtain falls on a day of unresolved pneumonia, fractured fingers, hernias, carpal tunnels, and stent replacements. An angiogram reveals atherosclerosis, and the patient is whisked away for life-saving CABGs. Evening Reflection: A final walk with your canine companion, thoughts turn to the morrow – a webinar awaits, and the call to audit once more. In this variety of cases, from short visits to long stays, from the young at heart to aged, you work your way through the medical stories with the threads of coding accuracy and patient care. The day is intertwined with emails, phone calls, audit requests, coding questions, what's app clarifications and webinar education planning... Oh the joy... Another wonder to stretch the legs and the day is done. #clinicalcoding #careers #healthinformationmanagement #healthinfomatics #safetyandquality

🌟 Understanding Ischemic Heart Disease: Join Us for an Insightful Event! I am thrilled to invite you to our event that promises to shed light on one of the most pressing health issues of our time: Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). This condition affects millions worldwide, impacting lives and healthcare systems profoundly. Ischemic Heart Disease occurs when the heart's blood supply is reduced due to narrowed arteries. Understanding its causes, symptoms, and preventive measures is crucial for everyone, regardless of age or background. Why attend? 1️⃣ Knowledge is Power: Understand IHD and it's treatment. 2️⃣ Impact on Clinical Coding: choose the right codes the first time 3️⃣ Q&A Session: Get your questions answered by clinical coding professionals. Registrations closing soon so don't miss out! This Thursday - 10am Online https://lnkd.in/gpZA5J4U #healthinformationmanager #healthinfo #clinicalcoding #ICD10 #education

The importance of clear complete clinical documentation that captures the conditions, and the organism cannot be understated. Recently, we held a Clinical Documentation Integrity webinar on General Medical Conditions that included the medical condition urinary tract infections. These types of infections are either present on admission, or can arise during an admission, and can be associated with IDCs. (can be potential HACs) The questions have kept coming 'can I code UTI based on this documentation?'. So what does 'good documentation' or 'sufficient' or 'excellent documentation' look like? Simple - condition, infective organism, linked 'due to or secondary to' surgery, or device. Good clinical documentation ensures the condition is coded, the data is captured, the communication is there, and the patient is cared for. #healthinformationmanagement #clinicalcoding #healthcare #Clinicaldocumenationintegrity #qualityandsafety

If AI could read doctor's writing, then it might have a chance! While there have been improvements in the automation of clinical coding, the recognition and extraction remains an issue - poor documentation, illegible documentation = poor data quality - multiple terms used to explain one clinical concept (just think about descriptions of wounds) - multiple standards and coding rules applying to selection of codes - missing or incomplete clinical documentation Ultimately the clinical documentation needs to be there, in the medical record, complete and legible, before AI can begin to able to 'take over' or assist clinical coders! There's always hope! (and just in case you're wondering, the documentation above states "Hb 77 - transfuse" ) #healthcare #digitalhealth #clinicaldocumentation #healthinformationmanagement #ICD10

Hayley and I had a ball. We will be back next year! Thanks for having us #DHF2024 PS maybe provide disinfectant wipes for headphones #clinicalcoding #healthinformationmanager #healthinformatics #digitalhealth #healthcareinnovation
