Compare and contrast the two coding classification systems that are currently used in the US
healthcare system.
ICD: International classification of disease codes are used to provide payer info on necessity of
visit or procedure performed. Shorthand for pt's dx.
CPT: common procedural terminology codes offer the official procedural coding rules and
guidelines required when reporting medical services and procedures performed by physician
and non-physician providers. Must have corresponding ICD.
How do specificity, sensitivity, and predictive value contribute to the usefulness of diagnostic
data?
Specificity: ability of a test to correctly detect a specific condition. If a pt has a condition but test
is negative, it is a false negative. If pt does NOT have condition but test is positive, it is false
positive.
Sensitivity: test that has few false negatives. Ability of a test to correctly identify a specific
condition when it is present. The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the likelihood of a false
negative.
