Overview of the Course

Accurate and comprehensive coded clinical data is essential for reliable and
effective clinical and statistical analysis. The process of following clearly
distinct rules to establish appropriate code(s) to be used when analysing a
condition statement needs to be taught and its application can be time
consuming. Whether the process is done by using software or by hand using the
ICD-10 manual, coding a diagnosis correctly requires training in the
innumerable rules used to choose and apply the codes.

This training is specially designed to provide beginners to gain better

understanding and proficiency in assigning ICD-10 codes. This training is also
suitable for those who are already involved in coding diagnosis to take this
opportunity to refresh and explore in greater details some chapters which are
more complicated

The success of the training delivered depends upon the commitment and
competence of the individual. It is therefore essential that an individual and
their organisation understand the base knowledge and skills required as well as
the ongoing commitment.

Objectives

Coding accuracy is highly important to healthcare organizations, and has an

impact on revenues and describing health outcomes. In fact, certification has
become an implicit industry standard. Accordingly, the certificates credential
demonstrates a practitioner's tested data quality and integrity skills, and
mastery of coding proficiency. Coders experienced in coding inpatient and
outpatient records should consider obtaining this certification.

o At the end of this course delegates will be able to:

o Understand and describe the role and importance of coded clinical data at
local and national levels

o Understand the quality criteria of data: accuracy, consistency, completeness

and timeliness

o Refresh and consolidate existing practical coding skills and step coding
process for ICD‐10 and ICD-9-CM

o Refresh and consolidate existing theoretical coding knowledge for ICD‐10

and ICD-9-CM

o Apply this knowledge to consistently and accurately identify the correct

codes for a range of typical case note and more complex scenarios

o Increase self‐confidence through participation in a number of interactive

reinforcement activities

 Specialty Coding Course: Orthopaedic Surgery

INTRODUCTION

This consists of a 2 day classroom based training developed and updated by the International
Centre for Casemix and Clinical Coding, UKM Medical Centre which offers specialty
training to enable experienced clinical coders to further develop their knowledge and
understanding of the processes and terminology associated with the coding or orthopaedic
spells. This is undertaken though a number of practical exercises, interactive activities and
learning sessions

COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

Clinical coding data is one of the major tasks of health ministries, hospitals and national
statistical data collectors. Coded data are used at facility, provincial, national and
international levels to describe health status. Coded data describe reasons for hospital and
clinic attendance, major causes of death and help to identify potential prevention and public
health strategies. These data provide a basis for health care provision and decision‐making,
creating rich information that can be analysed for health care planning, needs assessment,
resource allocation and health service management.

PARTICIPANTS:

Experienced and accredited clinical coders needing to refresh and further develop their
existing skills and knowledge to apply International clinical coding standards for the ICD-10
and ICD-9-CM classifications.

DATE : 22-23 JULY 2019

 Basic Course on Medical Terminology for Non Clinical

INTRODUCTION

The medical profession is one of the most rewarding industries to work in – it is also very
unique. This course has been developed to help you get under the skin of commonly used
medical terminology across a wide range of disciplines including biology, cardiology,
psychology and many more. You will be guided through each speciality step-by-step and
learn how seemingly complicated medical jargon is built up from word roots, prefixes and
suffixes, so this language becomes second nature to you.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

Non clinicians need not feel daunted by the complexity of language used in primary care -
this two day course covers everything you need to know by taking you on a tour of all the
main body systems. The starting point is in understanding the building blocks to medical
terminology and how the words are created. Then get to grips with the anatomy and
physiology to make it all falls into place.
This workshop is designed to give delegates an insight and understanding into the
terminology that may be encountered in a practice environment. The course covers the
basic anatomy and physiology of the systems. Delegates will be able to build up medical
words using word roots, suffixes and prefixes relating to these systems, giving the flexibility
to extend their knowledge.
