The Use of Artificial Intelligence for Clinical Coding Automation: A Bibliometric Analysis
The Use of Artificial Intelligence for Clinical Coding Automation: A Bibliometric Analysis (Springer).
In hospital settings, all information concerning the patients diseases and medical procedures are routinely registered in free-text format to be further abstracted and translated into standard clinical codes. The derived coded data is used for several purposes, from health care management and decision-making to billing and research. However, clinical coding is mostly performed manually, is very time-consuming, is inefficient and prone to error task. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production on automated clinical coding
using AI methods in the context of the International Classification of Diseases
(ICD) classification system. The study aims to provide an overview and
evolution of the research on automated clinical coding through Artificial
Intelligence (AI) techniques. [...]
