Coded clinical data (generated from classifications OPCS-4 and ICD-10) uses rules and conventions that, when applied accurately, result in the provision of high quality reporting to support secondary uses of data for statistical purposes - such as; operational and strategic planning, epidemiology, public health analyses of population health and reimbursement. This directly affects clinicians and all healthcare professionals, financial teams, information managers and data analysts, along with IT professionals. The Clinical Coding solutions available through this DPS will help Contracting Authorities to optimise and improve the performance and service delivery of Clinical Coding Departments. Suppliers must be capable of delivering one or more of the Service Types listed below. - Clinical Coding Related Strategic Business Management Services - Clinical Coding Related Clinical Governance Services - Clinical Coding Optimisation Services - Clinical Coding Training and Development Services The Service Types are outlined in the DPS Outline Specification attached to the PQQ and are not an exhaustive list.
