Abstract:
Encoded data on diagnoses and procedures are put to a broad range of uses. Coding accuracy and speed are imperative. One method that coding experts have recommended to improve coding accuracy and speed is automated encoders. The article describes the effect of automated encoders on coding accuracy and speed when used by trained coding staff. A study involving six Veterans Administration medical centers found that, overall, coding accuracy improved 19.4 percent after implementation of encoding software. The effect on coding speed, however, depended on the system set-up, with some set-ups actually reducing the number of discharges coded per day.
