Clinical Coding Support Services Dynamic Purchasing System
The submission deadline passed on 27 Oct 2023, 11:59pm.
Description
The Clinical Coding department is responsible for the translation of medical terminology, as written by the clinician to describe a patient complaint, problem, diagnosis, treatment or reason for seeking medical attention, into a coded format which is nationally and internationally recognised to support both statistical and clinical uses. Coded clinical data (generated from classifications OPCS-4 and ICD-10) uses rules and conventions that, when applied accurately, result in the provision of high quality reporting to support secondary uses of data for statistical purposes - such as; operational and strategic planning, epidemiology, public health analyses of population health and reimbursement. This directly affects clinicians and all healthcare professionals, financial teams, information managers and data analysts, along with IT professionals.
The Clinical Coding solutions available through this DPS will help Contracting Authorities to optimise and improve the performance and service delivery of Clinical Coding Departments.
For the avoidance of doubt, Call Off Contracts that solely involve the supply of on-site temporary, interim or permanent Clinical Coder staff are not in-scope for this Dynamic
