What 診療情報管理士 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

医療施設には、医師の書いた診療録(カルテ)、看護記録及び各種検査記録など、患者に行った医療内容を一定期間保存しなければならない法律上の義務がある。診療情報管理士はそうした情報を点検・保管・管理し、情報を収集、加工、分析し、必要な情報提供を行う。病院によっては「診療録管理士」とも呼ばれる。
 診療情報管理士の重要な業務の一つに、診療録に記載された病名、手術の術式、各種処置をコーディングする業務がある。病名はWHOの国際疾病分類に基づくコーディングを行っている。コーディングされたデータは、診療報酬支払制度にも活用されている。
 患者の要請によるカルテ開示業務についても診療情報管理士が関与している。
 カルテの電子化により、コンピュータ技術を活用した記録の情報化、情報の精度管理が行われている。業務のデジタル化が進む中で、的確な情報のチェック・管理体制は重要であり、特に診療報酬上での「診療録管理体制加算」の導入は、診療情報の管理が前提となっている。
