Australian Health Industry Leaps Ahead With Electronic Publishing Solution
Overview Hospitals around the world record the symptoms of all patients. Clinical coders then translate the notes into universal codes, whose source is ICD-10, a publication managed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Australia's National Centre for Classification in Health (NCCH) took the coding system a step further, creating ICD-10-AM, which includes treatments as well. Conscious of the healthcare sector's increasing reliance on technology, NCCH began to look for a way to distribute ICD-10-AM electronically. Microsoft partner Eurofield Information Solutions (EIS) had the answer. EIS's eComPress technology, built using Microsoft Visual Studio version 6.0, compressed the file for easy distribution over the Internet. The ICD-10-AM eBook has reduced NCCH's printing and publishing costs and proved a hit with clinical coders and health information managers.
