HIT 73A - Basic ICD Coding - Stage 4 - Dory Rincon
Assessment
| Assessment Methods | - Analysis of exam, quiz, or homework items linked to specific SLOs
- Direct observation of performances, practical exams, group work
|
|---|
| Assessment Description | Case studies were used in class. Students work in groups to discuss and assign codes to these case studies. Extra credit case studies were posted online to evaluate the effectiveness of the class group work. |
|---|
| Learning Outcomes | 3. Demonstrate the ability to assign ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM codes to diagnoses according to the coding guidelines. |

| Data Summary | Students did somewhat better on the online case studies after participating in the groups and class discussion. However, it was found that more work was needed in this area. |
|---|
| Analysis Summary | There was improvement in the accuracy of the code assignments, but students still struggled with code sequencing. More work is needed in this area. |
|---|
| Next Steps Planned | Case study group work needs to be introduced earlier in the course for it to be affective. |

Tentative Future Plans
| Term | Fall 2013 |
|---|
| Activities | Revision of outcomes and assessment methods (measurements) |
|---|
| More Details | Since we will be going to a new coding system starting in Fall 2013, case studies will be introduced to students earlier in the semester to see if the coding and sequencing improves. |

Additional Highlights
Students developed a better understanding of coding medical cases, but will need more practice for entry-level skill employment.
