Five integrated capabilities

That help HIM teams build capability, improve coding quality and be ready for an AI-enabled future.

Understand Coding Capability

Know skills, strengths and areas to grow. Visual competency profiles across Emergency, Day Surgery, Inpatient and Complex Inpatient work types.

Workforce Insights

Turn learning data into team insight and action. Manager dashboards, cohort views and month-over-month development trends.

Case-Based Learning

Build capability with real, practical cases. Fictional ICD-10-CA and CCI cases with AI-generated reference comparisons — designed for learning.

CoderCoach Q&A

Get trusted, standards-grounded guidance when you need it. On-demand coding questions answered with rationale and source references.

CoderCoach RT

Real-time, in-context feedback on redacted hospital cases. The strategic enterprise capability — RT highlights potential issues and documentation gaps.

Coding quality is a point-of-work challenge

Coders encounter complex cases, ambiguous documentation and fragmented reference materials every day. The question is: when does the guidance arrive? CoderCoach brings timely, standards-aware support into the workflow — so coders can verify their approach, clarify their thinking, and make a better final decision.

The CoderCoach Quality Loop

Quality improvement today.
Workforce development over time.

Insights from real coding questions point to learning needs. The same platform that supports daily coding work also builds individual capability — connecting point-of-care guidance to longer-term professional development.

Request a Demonstration
1
REVIEW

The coder encounters a case, code question or potential quality issue in their workflow.

2
GUIDE

CoderCoach surfaces possible coding approaches, supporting rationale and documentation gaps.

3
VERIFY

The coder checks official sources, documentation and local policy. Final judgment stays with the coder.

4
IMPROVE

The coder refines the abstract and completes the workflow in the existing hospital system.

5
LEARN

Relevant issues inform guided practice, education plans and quality-improvement insights over time.

CoderCoach Q&A

On-demand coding guidance — when you need it.

Coders encounter difficult questions every day: sequencing rules, comorbidity capture, dagger-asterisk linkage, documentation requirements. CoderCoach Q&A gives them a place to investigate — with AI-assisted responses that surface the relevant standards context, so the coder can verify and decide.

  • Ask any ICD-10-CA or CCI coding question in plain language
  • Responses include rationale and coding standards context
  • Covers Emergency, Day Surgery, Inpatient and Complex Inpatient coding
  • Ideal low-friction entry point for pilot programs

AI-generated guidance. Responses are advisory and must be verified against current official classifications, applicable coding standards, documentation and local policies. Coding professionals retain responsibility for final decisions.

CoderCoach Q&A
Coder asks:
"Patient admitted with acute MI, underwent PCI with drug-eluting stent. How do I sequence the principal diagnosis and intervention codes?"
CoderCoach guidance:
For this presentation, sequence the acute MI (I21.-) as principal diagnosis. The PCI with stent is coded as the intervention using the appropriate CCI code. Under Canadian Coding Standards, the condition responsible for admission after full investigation is the principal diagnosis...
Advisory only — verify against current ICD-10-CA/CCI and local policy before finalizing.

CoderCoach RT

Real-time quality coaching at the point of coding.

RT is the strategic enterprise capability — bringing CoderCoach guidance directly into the coding workflow. Coders get suggested codes, standards-grounded rationale and documentation gap prompts on their own redacted cases, without leaving their existing abstracting system.

  • Real-time, in-context feedback on redacted hospital cases
  • Highlights potential issues and documentation gaps before finalization
  • Human coder retains every coding decision
  • Builds capability over time through real case experience

The coder is always in control

CoderCoach is a coding quality improvement tool — not an autonomous coding system. Every design decision starts with the human coder remaining accountable.

Coder-first

The person remains accountable for the final abstract. CoderCoach supports — it does not replace.

Transparent about AI

Suggested answers are advisory and may be incorrect. Sources and version limits are shown explicitly.

Privacy by design

No patient-identifiable information required. Redacted case input only for RT workflows.

Canadian specificity

ICD-10-CA, CCI and Canadian coding workflows. Content used under licence from CIHI.
