The Need for Training

November 17, 2011 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on The Need for Training

IOD Incorporated has launched the IOD Learning Institute (ILI), an education platform that includes online learning, classroom led education and personalized one-on-one learning.  This comes about in preparation for the ICD-10 transition.

PR Newswire brought this topic to our attention in their article, “IOD Learning Institute Offers Customized Training.” Educational options available currently include comprehensive courses in ICD-9, ICD-10, medical terminology, HIPAA, release of information, and HIM operations.

Medical coding requires specialized expertise and systems tailored to the regulatory requirements in which health care providers, hospitals, and doctors deliver their services. Training is very important. That is why Access Innovations, Inc. provides training to a client’s staff and then offers quality assurance and validation services that can:

  • Minimize the risk of a coding error
  • Identify inappropriate or inadvertently applied tags
  • Display a “map” of coding distributions to allow management to get a bird’s-eye view of the coding assignment flow.
