Write a report based on a Coding Benchmark Audit. The resulting coding outcomes will be known as Coder A. For audit purposes from these records you will regard the answers that you have coded as being those provided by Coder A .This information then needs to be sent in a spreadsheet to Sharon who will then make Coder B's results available to you through Blackboard. Thus you need to have two lists of coded answers for each medical record, the first list will be your answers and the second list will be the answers provided to you. These two lists will form the basis of your audit analysis.
The audit will be carried out in accordance with industry standards provided by the Australian Coding Benchmark Audit (ACBA). You are now Coder B.
To analyze and write the report on the audit you need to have reviewed the data from the 40 medical records so you have a large enough sample size to analyse. You are writing the report for the Chief Executive Officer and therefore you need to include an Executive Summary, followed by a full and complete report including possible variances between Coder A and Coder B. The report should contain:
- Introduction
- Rationale
- Methodology
- Reporting Categories
- Scoring
- Results
- Interpretation of results
- Recommendations
- Follow-up
- Dissemination of results
- Conclusion
- References
- Appendices
