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. A Clinical Coding System is software which interfaces with an NHS Electronic Patient Record (EPR) to enable computer-assisted coding, coding quality analysis, clinical documentation improvement, performance monitoring and quality outcomes reporting.
