Computer assisted coding remains a very laborious process and the increased use of electronic health records, while providing better and more legible documentation, has increased the volume of information a coder must review when assigning codes. There is also a limited supply of trained coders; staffing coders continues to be challenging, particularly in the inpatient arena. With ICD-10 on the horizon, many organizations are now evaluating computer-assisted coding as a possible solution to improve productivity and provide cost savings.
