Talk:Clinical coder
I've started this extensive re-write of this article because the previous version was focussed on clinical coding of inpatient events in the UK only. I don't have all the references I need at hand at the time of writing this and therefore will come back and continue to work on this.
Tasks to do:
- Expand the paragraphs on the three phases
and reference them - Expand the list of classifications to include categories for Ambulatory, Oncology and Mental Health
- Add classifications from non-English languages
- Explain the difference between a statistical classification and a nomenclature (with reference)
- Add a see also for UMLS
- Edit the ICD and ICD-10 articles to internationalise from USA only
- Write the articles for the redlinks
- Casemix
- NCCH
- Daypatient
- ICD-9-CM-A
- ICD-10-AM
- Find someone with knowledge of the Canadian classifications to write the ICD-9-CA and ICD-10-CA articles
- Expand the skills section
- Add explanations to the list of uses of coded data
- Possibly add a list of classifications used by country - although with respect to ICD this is already on the WHO website and a link to this may be all that is necessary
