WHAT IS MEDICAL CODING AUSTRALIA

Also known as a Medical Records Coder, Clinical Coders translate descriptions of medical diagnoses and procedures into codes in order to record healthcare data within patients' medical records. As a Clinical Coder, you will use a universal coding system that is recognized throughout Australia.

ICD 10 CODING

ICD-10-AM (The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification) codes are a classification of diseases based on the World Health Organization (WHO) International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD- 10).

GENARAL INFORMATION

Clinical coders convert information from patients' medical records into alphanumeric codes according to a health classification system. These codes form part of data collection which is used for research, funding and healthcare planning. Clinical coders must have excellent attention to detail in order to produce high levels of accuracy. They must also have a comprehensive knowledge of medical terminology.

Medical terminology and clinical coding require a well-developed understanding of the English language, both written and spoken, and the ability to translate numerical information. For this reason it is recommended that students of HIMAA courses have an English level of 7 according to the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). If English is your second language and you are not sure of your level of ability to write and understand language and numbers, 

Clinical coders should be able to work as part of a team, have good communication skills and be interested in healthcare, disease processes and procedure developments. No previous experience in clinical coding is necessary when considering this career pathway. However, previous experience in nursing, medicine, biological sciences, other health services or a health-related clerical background such as medical secretary or reception work may be beneficial.
