Coding & documentation

Unspecified codes are payable, and they are the ones TPAs query

Why the catch-all is a short-term convenience with a long-term cost.

Coding the diagnoses an Indian OPD actually sees

Dengue, typhoid, malaria, TB and scrub typhus as first-class codes, not exotic imports.

A discharge summary that says nothing gets queried like a missing one

Hospital course from dated notes, abnormal results named, and discharge meds limited to what is still running.

Documentation written for care versus documentation that supports a claim

They are not in conflict, but the second requires things the first leaves implicit.

Ambient dictation in a multilingual consultation

Hindi, Marathi and Tamil in the room, structured output at the end of it.

Prescriptions the patient can actually read

Vernacular prescribing and what it does to adherence and follow-up.

Provenance on a code: who accepted it and from what

The audit trail that turns a coding decision into a defensible one.

Software that learns your consultants' shorthand

Every practice has its own abbreviations. Central retraining never learns your building.

Measuring your coding accept rate by confidence

Which suggestions get taken, and which the coders quietly override.

Coding that works when the internet does not

Connectivity in tier-2 and tier-3 practice, and why offline is not a compromise.

Procedure coding in the Indian context

What sits alongside ICD-10 here, and what payers actually ask for.

Naming the abnormal, collapsing the normal

A discharge summary reporting convention that survives a query.
