Fast Track Transition to ICD-10-AM 10TH EDITION, ACHI AND ACS

Introduction

Take This Course

This transition course is offered to ICD-10-AM, ACHI and ACS experienced and trained clinical coding staff. The program delivers a fast track in an understanding of the journey from 6th edition, including 7th, 8th and 9th edition changes as appropriate, to arrive in 10th edition fully understanding the pathway and inherent assumptions of knowledge that exist in ICD-10-AM 10th edition, ACHI and ACS. Written to support and meet the Saudi Health Council January 2020 statement that coding in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to be completed using ICD-10-AM 10th edition from 1 Jan 2020.

ICD-10-AM and ACHI enable the classification of diagnoses, procedures, interventions and other health problems from narrative, to alphanumeric (ICD-10-AM)/numeric (ACHI) codes, which permits easy storage, retrieval and analysis of the data. A clinical coder is a healthcare worker whose primary responsibility is the classification of Clinical concepts (in admitted episodes of care) into codes. Clinical coders need to have a thorough understanding of the classification as well as a sound knowledge of medical terminology and medical sciences. The aim of clinical coding is to classify clinical concepts into code to accurately reflect the admitted episode of care. Clinical concepts and/or entities include a disease, complication or injury for ICD-10-AM coding and an intervention or procedure for ACHI coding.

To obtain CME credits ( 21 hours) you need to attend the course live
