The Hospital Costing & Health Coding Forum will focus on advancing activity based management for improved quality & performance.
Improving data is a common concern for all hospitals and a central point of discussion between health information, business/ data analysts, costing & coding professionals. Improving the integrity of patient data is more important than ever within an activity based environment.
There are currently some exciting advancements to help with this and the forum is about cross pollination of ideas and successes, and about working together across professions to find ways to better document, classify, audit & analyse patient data.
