This process requires a great amount of human time and effort, as a result, it’s costly, tedious and prone to error. Our goal is to provide a solution that could ease the coding task while improving correctness of coding.
Code Retrieval
The ICD Code Retrieval approach combine different techniques from text mining, text categorization and information retrieval:
