Rehabilitation and Disability Services' Quality Projects: A Comparison against the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards' Clinical Criteria.
Authors: Briggs C Abstract The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) Evaluation, Quality and Improvement (EQuIP 4)(1) standards provide a useful clinical and corporate framework for the analysis of quality projects by both health and disability services. Two ACHS EQuIP 4 clinical standards were used to compare quality projects conducted by community-based and on-site rehabilitation and disability services, as generated by a commercial database. Reliable information is a major asset for healthcare organisations, and the use of the ACHS clinical standards to interpret quality project data can ove...

'Sailing the Seven Cs' with the Clinical Coders' Creed. The Eighth 'C': Private Sector Coding.
This article briefly relates the experience of a clinical coder working in the private healthcare sector in the Australian state of New South Wales and questions whether it is possible to work in this environment while adhering to the Clinical Coders' Creed. Private facilities in Australia that handle acute, psychiatric, respite and rehabilitation cases, rely mainly upon health insurance funds for reimbursement for episodes of care, which are funded according to DRGs based on codes assigned by clinical coders. The point is made that while all coders strive to fully and accurately describe the clinical episode of care regar...

Aspects of Coding in Canada: Through the Eyes of an Australian HIM.
Authors: Bidie A Abstract For the purpose of this brief update report, the author (an Australian Health Information Manager currently working in Canada) was asked to select certain aspects of the current coding system in Canada that she believes highlight relevant differences between the Canadian and Australian systems, on the assumption that this might be of interest to other Australian HIMs. The author has provided a brief overview of some recent changes to the Canadian classification system (e.g. new electronic product replacing coding books), as well a focus on some aspects of coder training and coding...

The Coding Conundrum: A Workplace Perspective.
Authors: Postle B, Koeldnik N, Miocevich T Abstract Over the last few decades clinical coding has grown in complexity and importance in the eyes of bureaucrats, administrators and clinicians, as new uses for this valuable resource are constantly being identified. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many Australian hospitals are currently experiencing difficulty in both recruiting and retaining clinical coders. The current shortage of clinical coders is a national problem, rather than being peculiar to any one state, and has a multitude of causes. This paper discusses a wide range of issues that have been iden...
