Austin Health has chosen Code Focus to complete the digital transformation of their coding workflow.

This exciting partnership promises a range of benefits for Austin Health, including:

  • Creating a centralised hub. All coding activities will be consolidated onto a single platform, streamlining processes and boosting efficiency.
  • Enhanced quality. Accuracy in coding and auditing will see a significant improvement through a user-friendly interface that contains an integrated code editing feature that is based on established coding classification systems, national coding advice and Australian Coding Standards. Additionally, Code Focus eliminates manual data entry by allowing direct injection of coding data from IHPBA, saving time and reducing errors.
  • Reduced manual processes. Manual processes will be automated, freeing HIMs from the burden of manual encoding in spreadsheets.
  • Seamless query tracking. Austin Health will be able to manage queries, track progress and status through to completion, all in one place.
  • Real-time updates. Reporting that provides valuable real-time data leads to informed decision-making.
  • Continuous improvement. A feedback loop will be established between coders, auditors and educators, leading to better first-time-right coding metrics.

Code Focus is an Australian HIM workflow automation tool created by HIMs for HIMs.
