Several factors contribute to coding inaccuracies, one of which is interpreting medical documentation. A lack of awareness among medical staff of the clinical coding process and the importance of detailed documentation exacerbates this problem. To investigate this further, 1 month of inpatient clinical coding data from a single hospital ward was reviewed by clinicians experienced in the coding and auditing process. If the reviewing clinician identified inaccuracies in the initial clinical coding, Healthcare Resource Group (HRG) codes were changed. Education sessions were then provided both to junior clinicians working on the hospital ward and to clinical coding staff and a further month of clinical coding data was again reviewed to assess for any difference after the sessions. HRG changes were made in 58.5% of 94 cases initially. Following the educational sessions, 20.5% of HRGs changed in 73 cases (p<0.0001), indicating more accurate initial clinical coding. There were also statistically significant reductions in the extent to which the primary and secondary diagnoses were changed. This study demonstrates that targeted education sessions for both junior clinicians and clinical coding staff can improve the accuracy of inpatient clinical coding.</p>","PeriodicalId":73125,"journal":{"name":"Future healthcare journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"100127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11059275/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140872306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, this study sought to collate evidence on the use of digital technology in cardiac reperfusion surgeries. We systematically searched three scientific databases for relevant articles. In total, 1,092 articles were retrieved, with 126 screened using inclusion/exclusion criteria, and 21 selected for analysis. Articles reported on the use of virtual reality, mHealth and telehealth in cardiovascular reperfusion procedures, ranging from surgical training regimens to postoperative rehabilitation. Here, despite clinical advantages, limitations were highlighted, including cost, ineffective interfaces and extensive training needed to operate novel digital tools. Nevertheless with further development and input from patient stakeholders, many limitations look set to dematerialise and provide tangible improvements to the benefit of patients and hard-pressed health institutions.</p>","PeriodicalId":73125,"journal":{"name":"Future healthcare journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"100128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11059274/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140863880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
