Can structured EHR data support clinical coding? A data mining approach

Abstract: Structured data formats are gaining momentum in electronic health record systems and can be leveraged for decision support and research. Nevertheless, such structured data formats have not been explored for clinical coding, which is an essential process requiring significant manual workload in health organizations. This article explores the extent to which fully structured clinical data can support the assignment of clinical codes to inpatient episodes, through the design and application of a methodology that … Show more

“…Aside from large scale, even multi-national efforts-such as the ones in the consortia just discussed-, another area of intensive interest regarding data-mining in medicine has been the development of analytical strategies to effectively mine the ever growing body of Electronic Health Records (EHR), that has been perceived as a largely forgone and under-utilized data source (6,(36)(37)(38)(39).…”

“…The quality of health care records indirectly contributes to patient safety because inaccurate patient data can lead to improper diagnosis and consequently wrong treatment of patients [ 18 , 26 ]. The quality and accuracy of data stored in the EHR system make it easier for decision-making among health professionals in different departments [ 10 ]. For these reasons, most hospitals in Ghana, have recently transitioned into the EHR system, although not completely, certain categories of health facilities have adopted the system.…”
