Module 01: Introduction to Clinical Coding
Introduces the purpose, scope, and structure of clinical coding within healthcare systems. Learners explore how coded data supports reporting, funding models, audit processes, and clinical governance.
Module 02: Introduction to Clinical Records and Confidentiality
Explains how clinical records are created, maintained, and protected. Emphasises confidentiality, information governance, and responsible data handling aligned with UK healthcare standards.
Module 03: Clinical Terminology and Jargons
Develops understanding of medical language, abbreviations, and clinical expressions. Accurate interpretation of terminology is essential for correct ICD-10 and OPCS-4 code assignment.
Module 04: Introduction to ICD-10 Coding
Introduces the structure, layout, and purpose of ICD-10 diagnostic coding. Learners understand how conditions are classified and why consistent diagnosis coding supports healthcare data integrity.
Module 05: General Coding Standards of ICD-10
Covers coding rules, conventions, and sequencing standards. This module strengthens consistency, reduces errors, and improves awareness of professional coding practices.
Module 06: ICD-10 5th Edition Codes (Chapters 1 to 4)
Explores selected ICD-10 chapters, helping learners understand how disease categories are grouped and structured.
Module 07: ICD-10 5th Edition Codes (Chapters 5 to 10)
Builds further familiarity with diagnostic classifications, reinforcing structured code navigation.
Module 08: ICD-10 5th Edition Codes (Chapters 11 to 15)
Expands diagnostic knowledge across additional body systems and clinical categories.
Module 09: ICD-10 5th Edition Codes (Chapters 16 to 22)
Completes exposure to the ICD-10 framework, supporting comprehensive understanding of diagnostic coding structure.
Module 10: Introduction to OPCS-4
Introduces procedural coding in the UK. Learners understand how OPCS-4 complements ICD-10 by classifying surgical and clinical procedures.
Module 11: Introduction to SNOMED CT
Explains the purpose of SNOMED CT as a structured clinical terminology system. Highlights its role in interoperability and digital health records.
Module 12: Other Types of Clinical Coding
Broadens awareness of additional coding systems and specialised classifications used in healthcare data management.
Module 13: Legal and Ethical Aspects of Working in a Clinical Environment
Focuses on data protection, professional responsibility, ethical decision-making, and compliance when handling clinical information.
Newly Added Practical Application Modules
These modules strengthen real-world relevance and distinguish this course from standard theoretical programmes.
Module 14: 3M Introduction
Introduces the 3M coding software environment commonly referenced in clinical coding settings. Learners explore how coding tools support structured code selection, documentation review, and classification logic.
Module 15: How to Assign ICD Codes Using 3M
Demonstrates how ICD-10 codes are identified and applied within a 3M system framework. This module connects theory to digital application, reinforcing structured diagnostic coding workflows.
Module 16: How to Assign Combination Codes
Explains how combination codes are selected when diagnoses or conditions are interrelated. Learners understand coding hierarchy, sequencing principles, and the impact of accurate code selection on data reporting.
Module 17: How DRG Changes While We Change Diagnosis or Procedure Using 3M
Introduces Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) logic and demonstrates how coding adjustments influence classification outcomes. Learners gain awareness of how diagnostic and procedural changes can affect grouping and reporting structures.
