Australian Medical Coding in Idukki

WHAT IS AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL CODING(AMC)? 

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and its Australian equivalent (ICDA) serve as the foundations for medical coding in Australia. This method is used to classify and describe medical diagnoses, treatments, and procedures. Medical coders use this system to assign codes to patient data, which is then kept in a database and used to generate reports. Medical coding is extremely important in Australia's healthcare system. It encourages medical specialists to retain accurate, timely, and consistent records and communicate with one another. Medical coding also allows the government to properly track healthcare spending and insurance companies to process claims in a timely and accurate manner.

ICD-10 is used in Australia to categories causes of death. The World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the international standard for reporting diseases and health problems. It is utilized by physicians, clinical coders, politicians, researchers, and many others around the world.

ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS is a classification system for admitted patient care that includes the following codes:

1. ICD-10-AM (International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision) - used to categorise diseases, injuries, and related health problems.

2. Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI) is a classification system for surgeries, therapies, and health interventions.

3. Australian Coding Standards (ACS) are standards for the consistent use of ICD-10-AM and ACHI across Australia.
