Example of using the MedCAT NLP pipeline for AI-assisted clinical coding for audit purposes that has been published. Clinical coding is the task of transforming medical information in a patient’s health records into structured codes for downstream analysis and organisational planning, an NHS coding department of around 25–30 coders usually codes over 20,000 cases per month [13]. Our approach could save clinical coders significant manual labour and increase performance and depth of coding [3]
