A Modern Approach to Disease Classification and Clinical Coding

By Folasayo Ayegbayo

This 12-chapter book is an attempt to present the current best practices in this specialty of HIM to Students, educators, and practitioners of HIM. This will help to ward off the frontier of academic and practical inadequacies present both in the training and practice areas. Therefore, the book promises to provide the much needed companionship for both students Educators, and Practitioners, as they cannot afford not to be compliant in the present world that has become a "global village", particularly in the field of HIM. Every chapter in the book is very interesting as they examine fresh and emerging facts in the practice of Disease Classification and Clinical coding. Some of these include chapters on emerging classification; classification, nomenclature, and terminology; Introduction to Procedural Coding System; an introductory chapter on Billing and Reimbursement Methodologies; ethical issues in coding; future consideration and many more interesting topics.
