Coding Audit

A second review of every coded chart, before it is signed off.

An AI audit agent re-reads the de-identified chart against the codes your coder selected, scores the coding and proposes what to add, remove or change - each with its reason. Your auditor accepts or rejects every proposal, and every decision is recorded.

An audit agent that argues with the coding

The coding agent suggests. The audit agent challenges. Your auditor decides.

It reads what the coder read

The audit agent receives the chart's de-identified documents and the codes the coder selected - the same evidence, a second set of eyes.

It proposes, with reasons

A summary, a score out of 100 and proposals to add, remove or change a code. A proposal for a code outside the chart's scheme is never shown.

Your auditor decides

Accept a proposal and it is applied to the codes. Reject it, and the reason is recorded. Then the auditor marks the chart audited.

Clinical documentation, from the first word to the final DRG

Six steps from the doctor's words to a coded, audited and grouped chart, with people reviewing the results along the way.

  1. DeepMed Dictate

    Dictate and approve: clinical dictation 

    Dictate or record the consultation with consent; the doctor approves the draft.

    Exports PDF, JSON or FHIR R4
  2. DeepMed Platform

    Read and protect: how a chart is read 

    Scans become text, and identifiers are masked before any AI sees them.

  3. DeepMed Platform AI-Assisted Coding

    Code: AI-assisted coding 

    Suggested codes arrive with the passage behind them, for the coder to accept.

  4. DeepMed PlatformThis page Coding Audit

    Audit: coding audit 

    A second AI pass scores the coding and proposes changes for the auditor.

  5. DeepMed Platform CDI

    Clarify: CDI and physician queries 

    Documentation gaps become neutral, non-leading physician queries.

  6. DeepMed Platform DRG Grouping

    Group: DRG grouping 

    A rules-based grouper assigns the DRG, final when the chart is locked.

How a chart is audited

Auditing starts by itself once a chart is coded, and finishes with a person's sign-off.

1
Coded

Every coded chart is picked up

Whether it was marked coded by a person, coded automatically or coded earlier, the chart is queued for audit without anyone having to ask.

AI audit

A summary, a score and proposals

The audit agent compares the selected codes with the documentation and returns a summary, a score out of 100 and proposals to add, remove or change a code. Each run is kept, so you can see how the audit changed after the documentation did.

Auditor review

Each proposal accepted or rejected

On the Audit tab, beside the document, the auditor works through the proposals. An accepted proposal is applied to the selected codes; a rejected one needs a reason. Then the auditor marks the chart audited.

Sign-off

Audited, then locked for billing

Once audited, the chart's clinical facts and code attributes are protected. Locking the chart for billing makes its codes - and its DRG, when grouped - final.

Every proposal comes with its reason

An auditor should never have to reverse-engineer a machine. Every proposal says what it would change and why, and the decision - with its reason when rejected - stays on the chart.

  • Suggested Auditing: the auditor decides each proposal
  • Auto Auditing: every valid proposal applied at once
  • No Auditing: the AI audit is off, the sign-off is not
  • Run the audit again after the documentation changes
  • The Audit tab shown only to the auditor, supervisors and administrators
  • A coder quality view built on every audit

The Audit tab

Score 84 3 proposals
Add N17.9 - acute kidney failure: creatinine rise and treatment documented on day two.
Change E11.9 to E11.65 - hyperglycaemia is documented and treated.
Remove R06.0 - dyspnoea is integral to the coded COPD exacerbation.

Audit results your quality team can use

Because every audit and every decision is recorded, coding quality becomes something you can measure, not guess.

Who coded it

The person who uploads a chart and the person who codes it are kept apart, so every audit is credited to the right coder.

Coder quality reporting

A reporting view over every audit - scores and proposals per coder and per chart - for feedback and education.

Auditor work lists

Each auditor sees the charts assigned to them, with filters, bulk reassignment and a notification when a chart becomes theirs.

A complete log

Every code change, status change, proposal and review is written to the chart's log, with who did it and when.

Connected to CDI and DRG

The audit never waits for the DRG, and the DRG never reopens the audit. They simply stay in step.

  • An accepted audit change regroups the chart's DRG; a proposal alone does not
  • While the audit is open, an accepted DRG is shown as provisional
  • Documentation gaps go to CDI as neutral physician queries
