Automatic clinical coding is a crucial task in the process of extracting relevant information from unstructured medical documents contained in Electronic Health Records (EHR). However, most of the exi...
We examine the performance of 3 transformer-based architectures on 3 different explainable clinical-coding tasks. For each transformer, we compare the performance of the original general-domain versio...
For each analyzed transformer, the clinical-domain version significantly outperforms the corresponding general domain model across the 3 explainable clinical-coding tasks analyzed in this study. Furth...
By separately addressing the MER and MEN tasks, as well as by following a context-aware text-classification approach to tackle the MEN task, the hierarchical-task approach effectively reduces the intr...
Despite the self-evident importance of hospital funding, many anaesthetists remain unsure of exactly how their daily work relates to hospital reimbursement. A lack of awareness of the nuances of the A...
International Classification of Diseases (ICD) serves as the foundation for generating comparable global disease statistics across regions and over time. The process of ICD coding involves assigning c...
Coding in medical procedures is crucial for patients, and errors made by hospital administration during the coding process can have an impact on both the financial results and the course of therapy. T...
In a local hospital in Najran, Saudi Arabia, a cross-sectional observational analysis was conducted on patients with a clinical coder. The percentage of precision and error following the re-coding of ...
Primary diagnosis was incorrectly coded in 57 (26 per cent) records, and secondary diagnosis was incorrectly coded in 21 (9.9 per cent) records. Inaccurate medical labelling has been seen in emergency...
The percentage of records with the most incorrect coding was found to be 16 (7.5 per cent) in the emergency room, 10 (4.7 per cent) in the surgical clinic, and 5 (2.3 per cent) in the gynaecology/OBS ...
The percentage of inaccurate clinical codes in primary diagnoses reached (26.8 per cent) and the percentage of incorrect clinical codes in secondary diagnoses reached (9.9 per cent)....
Notes documented by clinicians, such as patient histories, hospital courses, lab reports and others are often annotated with standardized clinical codes by medical coders to facilitate a variety of se...
Introduction Issues arising from the current coding system in dentistry have been highlighted. Available codes are considered to lack clarity and fail to reflect all dental specialties. There are no p...
While clinical coding is intended to be an objective and standardized practice, it is important to recognize that it is not entirely the case. The clinical and bureaucratic practices from event of dea...
This study investigated 91,022 deaths recorded in the Scottish Asthma Learning Healthcare System dataset between 2000 and 2017. Asthma-related deaths were identified by the presence of any of ICD-10 c...
We found that one in every 200 deaths in this were coded as being asthma related. Less than 1% of asthma-related mortality records used both J45 and J46 ICD-10 codes as causes. Infection (predominantl...
Further inspection of patient history can be essential to validate deaths recorded as caused by asthma, and to identify potentially mis-recorded non-asthma deaths, particularly in those with complex c...
Clinical coding uses a classification system to assign standard codes to clinical terms and so facilitates good clinical practice through audit, service design and research. However, despite clinical ...
Despite the increasing importance of coding and billing in healthcare as a whole and calls from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to emphasize systems-based practice, ma...
A literature search from conception to March 15th, 2022 utilizing PubMed, Google Scholar, and EMBASE was conducted to search for studies that evaluate surgical resident coding practices and interventi...
Discrepancies in coding and billing ability are prominent between residents, surgeons, and professional coders. One study demonstrated coding accuracy of 76.5% for professional coders, 62.1% for surgi...
Coding and billing discrepancies among students, residents, and surgeons persist due to a lack of formalized training. Integration of standardized and mandated medical coding curricula and interventio...
Automatic International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding is defined as a kind of text multi-label classification problem, which is difficult because the number of labels is very large and the d...
