Coding Discussion Paper  

HIA in coordination with HFG facilitated a discussion session with different stakeholders. The group discussed the objectives of a standard coding system and ranked the available classification systems based on use. Based on the discussions, the top goals of a coding system in Jordan are: improving clinical delivery, supporting the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), providing data to estimate cost, and being a long-term coding system. The goals of coding were mapped to different coding systems.
