Clinical coding is done using ICD-10-AM (International Classification of Diseases, version 10, Australian Modification) and ACHI (Australian Classification of Health Interventions) in acute and sub-acute hospitals in Australia for funding, insurance ...
Clinical codes are used for public reporting purposes, are fundamental to determining public financing for hospitals, and form the basis for reimbursement claims to insurance providers. They are assigned to a patient stay to reflect the diagnosis and...

The present-day health data ecosystem comprises a wide array of complex heterogeneous data sources. A wide range of clinical, health care, social and other clinically relevant information are stored in these data sources. These data exist either as s...
Electronically stored clinical documents may contain both structured data and unstructured data. The use of structured clinical data varies by facility, but clinicians are familiar with coded data such as International Classification of Diseases, Nin...
