Clinical Coding Assistant Users
Contract Coders
CCA is an ideal tool for Contract Coders to use as it is lightweight, mobile, and does not require a server installation to run. It gives the Contract Coder the ability to quickly code, group and report separations for the facility at which they are working. When completed, the Data Transfer Module allows the export of the verifed separations to an import-ready data file for the facility.
Small and Medium Sized Hospitals
Whether your hospital employs full- or part-time coding staff, or uses the services of a Contract Coder, CCA is well suited to your organisation "out-of-the-box". As for CCA for Contract Coders, it is not necessary to have CCA installed on a large server. You can install and run CCA on several machines or just a shared PC. Installing on several machines is a good option when you only need to manage a few installations. This type of arrangement allows you to share your patient data between each CCA installation but have all the required lookup data locally stored on each machine running CCA. This minimizes network traffic to only that which is necessary for CCA to run.
Large Hospitals
Where CCA is installed at a large hospital (generally 5 or more full-time CCA workstations), the initial setup will undertake scheduled and manual data transfers between the HIS and CCA. This connection between the two systems can be integrated in to normal HIS operation and maintaining real-time synchronisation of the two data sets.
