Overview:

Hospitals around the world record the symptoms of all patients. Clinical coders then translate the notes into universal codes, whose source is ICD-10, a publication managed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Australia's National Centre for Classification in Health (NCCH) took the coding system a step further, creating ICD-10-AM, which includes treatments as well. Conscious of the healthcare sector's increasing reliance on technology, NCCH began to look for a way to distribute ICD-10-AM electronically. Microsoft partner Eurofield Information Solutions (EIS) had the answer. EIS's eComPress technology, built using Microsoft Visual Studio version 6.0, compressed the file for easy distribution over the Internet. The ICD-10-AM eBook has reduced NCCH's printing and publishing costs and proved a hit with clinical coders and health information managers.
