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.
