# Automated Medical Coding
|
4 |
+
|
5 |
+
## Overview
|
6 |
+
Automated Medical Coding is an AI-driven model designed to streamline the process of extracting and assigning medical codes from clinical notes. This model leverages natural language processing (NLP) to predict **ICD (International Classification of Diseases)** and **CPT (Current Procedural Terminology)** codes based on unstructured text data, such as physician notes or medical documentation.
|
7 |
+
|
8 |
+
Medical coding is a critical step in healthcare, facilitating accurate billing, claims processing, and statistical tracking. By automating this process, our model reduces manual effort, enhances accuracy, and saves time for healthcare providers.
|
9 |
+
|
10 |
+
## Features
|
11 |
+
- Predicts **ICD codes**, which categorize diagnoses and medical conditions.
|
12 |
+
- Predicts **CPT codes**, which detail medical services and procedures.
|
13 |
+
- Designed to handle clinical notes with complex, unstructured language.
|
14 |
+
|
15 |
+
## Base Model
|
16 |
+
This model builds upon the **[Microsoft/BiomedNLP-BiomedBERT-base-uncased-abstract](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/BiomedNLP-BiomedBERT-base-uncased-abstract)**, a pretrained transformer model fine-tuned for medical text understanding. BiomedBERT's capability to process medical jargon makes it an ideal foundation for this task.
|
17 |
+
|
18 |
+
## How It Works
|
19 |
+
1. **Input:** Clinical notes or medical documentation in textual format.
|
20 |
+
2. **Processing:** The input text is tokenized and passed through BiomedBERT for feature extraction. Additional fully connected layers process these features to predict corresponding ICD and CPT codes.
|
21 |
+
3. **Output:** A list of ICD and CPT codes relevant to the input clinical notes.
|
22 |
+
|
23 |
+
## Benefits
|
24 |
+
- **Improved Efficiency:** Reduces manual coding time for medical professionals.
|
25 |
+
- **Increased Accuracy:** Minimizes errors in coding and improves billing accuracy.
|
26 |
+
- **Scalability:** Can process large volumes of clinical notes effectively.
