                                   MEDICAL CODING.


                                             After a doctor treats a patient, the report needs to be created for the patient as well as the insurance company to understand what was done in order to process the bill. Medical coding is the process of transferring the healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes into uniform numeric codes. These codes are then used to accumulate patient data, process insurance claims, to track information of specific disease, treatment etc. Medical Coder work behind the scenes in the healthcare industry and ensure that all information is coded appropriately in away that is useful and efficient. Medical coders are required to know how to use 3 basic code sets: CPT (Current Procedure Terminology), ICD (International Classification of Disease) and HCPCS (Health Care Procedural Coding System).


                                         International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which is published by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and which uses unique alphanumeric codes to identify known disease and other health problems. According to WHO, physicians, coders, health information managers , nurses and other healthcare professionals also use ICD to assist them in the storage retrieval of diagnostic information. ICD records are also used in the compilation of national morality and morbidity statistics. For instance I46.9  denotes Cardiac Arrest.

                                       


 Cardiac Arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have been diagnosed with heart disease. Most cardiac arrest occur when a diseased heart's electrical system malfunctions. This malfunction causes an abnormal heart rhythm such as tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Some cardiac arrests are also caused by extreme slowing of the heart's rhythm. Sudden emotional stress, such as the death of a loved one, may also trigger heart attacks. 

                                           Signs of sudden cardiac arrest are immediate and drastic: sudden collapse. No pulse. No breathing. Other signs may include chest discomfort, shortness of breath, weakness and fast beating, fluttering or pounding heart.

                                             Most people who experience cardiac arrest do not survive. Among those who do, there is a risk of neurologic  dysfunction, brain injury, disorders of consciousness, neurocognitive deficits, changes in quality of life as well as physical and psychological well being. 

                                             A heart healthy lifestyle can help reduce risk for many conditions, including sudden cardiac arrest. Maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, eat a healthy balanced diet, Get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise and managing stress can prevent cardiac arrest.

                                             The use of ICD codes make it easier for medical coder to code the diseases and classify them.
