The Clinical Coding Team is responsible for the extraction and translation of inpatient information using the ICD-10 and OPCS-4 Coding Classifications, following and in keeping with the well-defined national coding standards. This information is essential for the effective management of the Trust and crucial to the National Tariff Payment System that underpins Trust income. Coded data is also important for clinical audit, governance, and research.
As an Accredited Clinical Coder, you will make judgements on complex clinical information requiring interpretation and comparing options from information provided electronically and in paper-based health records. Clinical Coders have a crucial role in the provision of mandatory data for information, financial, and reporting purposes both at local and national levels. The post holder will be expected to be an Accredited Clinical Coder (ACC) through completion of the National Clinical Coding Qualification. As part of the role, the post-holder is expected to interact with clinicians and operational staff and have responsibility for their own workload while maintaining accuracy and completeness of their clinical coding, as well as assisting in training and mentoring of trainees and less experienced team members.
At Dorset County Hospital (DCH), we aspire to provide outstanding care for people in ways that matter to them. Our trust strategy is focused on three strategic goals: People, Place, and Partnership. It signals our intention to truly value our staff. Our people are our most important asset, and we want them to feel valued, welcomed, respected, and that they belong and matter. We recognize the link between high levels of staff satisfaction and improving patient experience and outcomes.
We are a Trust that celebrates diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Dorset County Hospital has a number of employees from overseas delivering high-quality services, and we recognize the value of diversity in leadership. We would welcome applications from people in groups that are under-represented at Board level.
We are rapidly expanding and currently seeking an Accredited Clinical Coder to join our growing and innovative team at an acute hospital within the NHS. This is an exciting new post in our cohesive and established team. We are seeking a confident and passionate individual who thrives on change and wants to make a difference to the outcomes of our patients and staff. Detailed working knowledge of the Dorset health and care system is desirable; however, it is not essential.
