The aim of this project is to use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to predict ICD-10 or OPCS-4 codes from doctor/patient notes, automating a task currently done manually by the clinical coding team.
Initially, we’ll predict 3-character ICD-10 chapters, with the goal of eventually predicting full 4-character codes. Collaborating with a provider that has access to these notes, this project will streamline coding and improve accuracy.
“NHS 10-year big bet: AI to drive productivity”: using NLP to automate the prediction of ICD-10/OPCS-4 codes from clinical notes, a task currently performed manually, freeing up coding staff time and improving accuracy.
“NHS 10-year big bet: Data to Deliver Impact”: Enhancing held data with categories that can be used downstream for additional analysis or to support data products like machine learning algorithms
