What is the definition of clinical coding? - ✔✔Clinical coding is the translation of medical
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
terminology that describes a patient's complaint, problem, diagnosis, treatment or other
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
reason for seeking medical attention into codes that
|| || || || || || ||
can then be easily tabulated, aggregated and sorted for statistical analysis in an efficient and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
meaningful manner.
|| ||
What is meant by 'coding uniformity'? - ✔✔Coding uniformity means that whenever a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
given condition or reason for an episode is coded, the same code is always used to represent
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
that condition or reason for the encounter.

What is step three of the ICD-10 Four Step Coding Process? - ✔✔Assign a tentative code(s)

In what three circumstances are supplementary fifth characters used in ICD-10 Chapter

Coding Standards ||
What are the three dimensions of coding accuracy and what do they mean? - ✔✔Individual
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
codes:
Each clinical statement of diagnosis must have the correct code assignment. An individual
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
patient may have many diagnoses (or procedures). Consequently, a coded record for an
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
episode will have at least one or potentially many individual codes.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Totality of codes: || ||
It means that all codes necessary to give an accurate clinical picture of the patient's
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
diagnosis, problems or other reasons for an episode encounter, must be assigned in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
accordance with the rules, conventions and standards of the classification.
