Determination of Problematic ICD-9-CM Subcategories for Further Study of Coding Performance: Delphi Method

2011 Summer
by Xiaoming Zeng, MD, PhD; and Paul D. Bell, PhD, RHIA, CTR

Abstract

In this study, we report on a qualitative method known as the Delphi method, used in the first part of a research study for improving the accuracy and reliability of ICD-9-CM coding. A panel of independent coding experts interacted methodically to determine that the three criteria to identify a problematic ICD-9-CM subcategory for further study were cost, volume, and level of coding confusion caused.

Evaluation of Factors Influencing Accuracy of Principal Procedure Coding Based on ICD-9-CM: An Iranian Study

2009 - Volume 6
by Mehrdad Farzandipour and Abbas Sheikhtaheri

Abstract

To evaluate the accuracy of procedural coding and the factors that influence it, 246 records were randomly selected from four teaching hospitals in Kashan, Iran. “Recodes” were assigned blindly and then compared to the original codes. Furthermore, the coders’ professional behaviors were carefully observed during the coding process.
