Procedure and Diagnostic Coding in Project E-vitaTM
Introduction
All clinical content and much of the
administrative content in Project E-vita databases
are stored in the international terminology coding standard of
SNOMED-CT. All clinical encounters can be optionally coded with SNOMED-CT
terminology in addition to the plain text notes and documents that may be attached
to the clinical encounter record by the physician. Over and above the optional SNOMED-CT
coding, other forms of coding like Diagnostic coding (using ICD-10 or ICD-9) and
or Procedure coding (using OPCS-4 or CPT® Current Procedural Terminology for instance)
are also supported.
Project E-vita uses advanced techniques called AJAX to search the online Diagnostic
or Procedure terminology databases in the background while the physician refines
their search in the foreground. Users can also code using SNOMED-CT and have the
system automatically use cross mapping facilities to identify matching codes in
the online ICD-10 or Procedure code dictionaries. Using cross mapping avoids the
need to search for terms in multiple online coding standards. and thus avoid unnecessary
repetition.
Physicians can take the SNOMED-CT coding of all the clinical encounters for an episode
of patient care and quickly select the most suitable related ICD-10 codes and or
Procedure codes. Project E-vitaTM permits multiple codes to be chosen
and the designation of a primary ICD code for any and all clinical encounters.
Quick and efficient cross mapping provides for quicker selection of accurate data
for reporting and billing purposes. Project E-vita can even be setup to integrate
with Diagnostic Grouper software to allow for calculation of DRG / HRG codes.
We can assist you with any bespoke integration
of Project E-vitaTM technologies with billing / reporting suites.
Cross mapping saves time, saves money, increases revenue and accuracy!!
