Validation of diagnostic codes in a sample of Hawaii medical insurance claims in 1986 to 1987 revealed 96% accuracy in hospital claims, high enough to supply data for research purposes. In physician claims the accuracy was only 62%. Initiation of two feedback loops to physicians from the insurer in 1989 resulted in a marked improvement of diagnostic coding accuracy by 1992 to 1994.
对1986年至1987年夏威夷医疗保险索赔样本中的诊断编码进行验证后发现,医院索赔的准确率为96%,高到足以提供用于研究目的的数据。在医生索赔方面,准确率仅为62%。1989年保险公司启动了两个向医生反馈的循环,到1992年至1994年,诊断编码准确率有了显著提高。
