Abstract

Free-text clinical narratives recorded during clinical care are used for secondary purposes such as clinical coding and subsequent statistical analysis. The current process of manual clinical coding is time-consuming, expensive and error prone. Computer-Assisted Coding (CAC) systems have the potential to expedite this process. We aim to develop a distributed knowledge-based computer-assisted clinical coding system that can semi-automate the process of clinical coding. This paper, describes the initial phase of our work which currently uses the pattern matching method to assign ICD-10-AM and ACHI codes.
