STM publisher Elsevier has integrated TruCode’s Encoder Essentials, a web services solution for clinical coding, into SimChart for the Medical Office and the resources to support 2015 Step by Step Medical Coding by Carol J. Buck. SimChart for the Medical Office is the industry’s first academic EHR and practice management product to offer students an integrated encoder.
TruCode, which provides an encoder application, components and web services to healthcare providers, consultants and healthcare IT companies, is used by more than 1,800 professionals in more than 450 healthcare organisations. Integration with SimChart for the Medical Office and 2015 Step by Step Medical Coding will give students experience with sophisticated code searches and access to comprehensive code books, helping to simplify the coding process and enrich learning.
According to Mike Mulligan, Managing Partner, TruCode, unlike a traditional encoder interface, the integration with Elsevier’s SimChart for the Medical Office enables all coding education to be done within one application, by providing instant access to pertinent coding tools.
