RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CLINICAL CODER
Clinical coding provides the clinical element to what is otherwise administrative data.

The accuracy of coding is determinant of the Trust’s data quality and is key to operational management, the wider governance agenda and many International and National indicators. Under the Payment by Results (PbR) system, timely, accurate and complete clinical coding is core to identifying and receiving Trust revenue.
