Coding and compliance customizations and standardizations

SpeedECoder has several customizable search enhancements that improve the accuracy of your searches while sharing critical information with other users. These include:

• CodeLists™—CodeLists speed coding by making your most commonly chosen codes available in one place. When you identify a useful code, you can add the code to your personal CodeList with one click. You can share your list with other users in your practice group to quickly create a customized group CodeList that speeds code selection.
• CodeNotes™—CodeNotes help you and your practice record and share critical coding information in the course of your work. For example, CodeNotes can be created to clarify payer-specific rules for a given procedure.
• CodeWords™—CodeWords both speed coding and improves consistency. For example, if a physician always writes NIDDM for controlled Type II, adult, non-insulin dependent diabetes, you can create a CodeWord that links that particular abbreviation directly to code 250.01, or whatever code you believe accurately reflects that abbreviation. When coders in the group search that particular term again, the code matched to the CodeWord is highlighted.
• CodeSwaps™—CodeSwaps provide you with a powerful way to identify medical abbreviations and specify ways to expand your searches. There are thousands of medical abbreviations that are used that do not have direct correlations in the coding manuals. For example, CHF, the common abbreviation for congestive heart failure, does not exist the standard text of the ICD-9-CM manual. SpeedECoder identifies abbreviations and asks you if you want to substitute the full name of the disease instead of the abbreviation in your search. Besides using the built-in system library of thousands of medical abbreviations, you can also create your own.

Sharing and permissions

A core element of SpeedECoder's power is its ability to share user customizations. You have the ability to allow other users to view their CodeNotes, CodeList, CodeSwaps, and CodeWords. In addition, you can specify that others may make changes to these customizations.

In order to make sure that all users' customizations are correct and follow coding standards, one central administrator can edit or remove customizations.
