Qualification Description

This qualification reflects the role of entry level clinical coders who use a range of skills and knowledge to analyse clinical documentation using a standardised classification system for assigning codes to represent care provided to patients in the health care system.

Clinical coders work in the health care system and the health data they produce is used to meet national and jurisdictional reporting requirements, assist in health service planning, monitor patient safety, assist in research, and to underpin information for the hospital funding models. Entry level clinical coders are responsible for the coding of moderately complex medical records.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

The volume of learning of a Diploma is typically 1 - 2 years.
