Introduction

This section was to be an introduction on Coding, however, it was so detailed that I decided to put only a brief introduction in this section and a downloadable paper.

History

In many cases, the International coding standards where design years ago for a paper base system and for a single purpose, that of being able to communicate the information to another individual.

Today, many of these International coding systems simply do not work with computer systems and data analysis. Examples include both the ICD10 codes...mostly...and the SNOMED codes which do not work at all. The CPT codes are adapted for US use.

Therefore, InHCc is adapting many of the coding systems to ones that can be used in an Analysis System with Data mining. The InHCc coding system is atomic where there is only one concept. Attributes or modifiers of the Concept are coded separately.

The InHCc Coding system will be mapped to the Original Codes when ever possible. The InHCc HMIS system itself provides the ability to change Coding systems as required.
