Encapsulating a patient's clinical narrative into a condensed, informative summary is indispensable to clinical coding. The intricate nature of the clinical text makes the summarisation process challenging for clinical coders. Recent developments in ...
Medical coding involves assigning codes to clinical free-text documents, specifically medical records that average over 3,000 markers, in order to track patient diagnoses and treatments. This is typically accomplished through manual assignments by he...
BACKGROUND: The accuracy of the ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) procedure coding system (PCS) is crucial for generating correct Taiwan diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), as coding errors can l...
BACKGROUND: The International Classification of Diseases (ICD), developed by the World Health Organization, standardizes health condition coding to support health care policy, research, and billing, but artificial intelligence automation, while promi...
INTRODUCTION: Original research in radiology often involves handling large datasets, data manipulation, statistical tests, and coding. Recent studies show that large language models (LLMs) can solve bioinformatics tasks, suggesting their potential in...
ICD coding, which involves assigning appropriate ICD codes to clinical notes, is essential for healthcare tasks such as health expense claims, insurance claims, and disease research. Manual ICD coding is time-consuming and prone to errors, increasing...
