Introduction

A healthcare system is a complex and dynamic network of engaged stakeholders that actively work towards the improvement of patient outcomes. In the value chain of providing healthcare services, correct and reliable data has become an essential building block for the provision of effective and cost-effective healthcare services.  Both health care professionals as well as practice managers and administrators will benefit from the correct and compliant application of an international coding system (ICD) developed by WHO to provide a platform for healthcare planning, provisioning and the improvement of patient care and treatment.
This concise yet sufficiently detailed eLearning course on ICD-10 coding will enable participants to apply their knowledge in all healthcare encounters and thus streamline medical aid, insurance and death certification processes simultaneously providing the necessary data required for effective healthcare planning for healthcare managers and administrators.
