Abstract

BACKGROUND: Medical Information Departments help to optimize the hospital revenues generated by activity-based pricing. A review of medical files, selected after the targeting of coding summaries, is organized. The aim is to make any corrections to the diagnoses or coded procedures with a potential impact on the pricing of the stay. Targeting is of major importance as a means of concentrating resources on the files for which coding can be effectively improved. The tools available for targeting can be optimized. We have developed a decision-making support tool to make targeting more efficient. The objective of our study was to evaluate the performance of this tool.
