2008 ICD-10 course in Brisbane June - July 2008

NCCH Brisbane will conduct a three-week training program to introduce participants to coding with the ICD-10 in June-July 2008. Included for the first time this year is an optional week prior to the coding course designed for introducing the techniques and methods for training others in the use of the ICD-10 for morbidity (hospital) and/or mortality (death certificate) coding. This training program is offered to meet the needs of countries which have implemented or plan to implement the ICD-10 classification system, have people previously trained in the use of ICD-10 and/or require local training and support for existing ICD-10 coding staff.

The program has two parts:

• Week 1 (23-27 June 2008) is designed to train people who are or will be responsible for training other coders. Only experienced coders will be accepted into week 1 of the course.

• Weeks 2 and 3 (30 June - 11 July 2008) are designed for coders who require introductory training in the use of the ICD-10.

The participants in week 1 will assist with the training provided in weeks 2 and 3. Week 2 will focus on morbidity coding and week 3 on mortality coding. Registrants may enrol in either all three weeks of the training program, weeks 2 and 3 or week 2 or week 3 only. The NCCH will assess the knowledge and skills of potential participants in the train the trainer week and reserve the right to reject applications for that week if it is felt that the applicant lacks sufficient past coding experience. These individuals will be offered a place in weeks 2 and 3 of the training program only.
