 | | The Centre has 15 staff, 12 at the University of Sydney where the main functions relate to coding for morbidity reporting purposes, and three at the Queensland University of Technology, dealing primarily with mortality coding issues, relationships with the ABS and training in health classification systems in the countries of the Western Pacific. |
 | | The seminar theme, 'Partnerships in Coding', reflected the strong alliances and partnerships that have been forged in the area of coding in recent times, among the Commonwealth, State health authorities, computer and IT specialists, clinicians, allied health professionals, other organisations and, most importantly, clinical coders. |
 | | This reflects the Institute's interest in higher quality coding of mortality, morbidity and procedures as well as other coding systems such as impairments, and disability and handicap, as the basis for high-quality health and welfare statistics. |
