The first Australian Clinical Coder (ACC) accreditation exam in 1996 saw one-third of candidates pass. Success was linked to experience, with those coding 10+ years most likely to be accredited.

Area of Science:

  • Health Information Management
  • Medical Coding Education

Background:

  • The establishment of the Australian Clinical Coder (ACC) accreditation examination marked a significant development for the profession in Australia.
  • Accreditation aimed to standardize and professionalize clinical coding practices nationwide.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of the inaugural ACC accreditation examination.
  • To identify factors correlating with candidate success in achieving accreditation.

Main Methods:

  • 148 candidates participated in the examination across 19 sites in Australia and New Zealand in September 1996.
  • Data analysis focused on demographic and professional characteristics of successful versus unsuccessful candidates.

Main Results:

  • Approximately one-third of all candidates achieved accreditation.
  • Successful candidates were more likely to work in public hospitals or larger private hospitals (>150 beds).
  • Candidates dedicating 25+ hours weekly to coding and possessing 3+ years of experience showed higher success rates, with 10+ years of experience correlating with the highest pass percentage.

Conclusions:

  • Experience and dedicated coding hours are strong predictors of success in clinical coder accreditation.
  • The findings provide benchmarks for future ACC examinations and highlight the importance of experience in clinical coding.
