Abstract
Professional coding specialists ("coders") are experts at translating patient chart information into alphanumerical codes, which are then widely used in research and health policy decision-making. Coders rely solely on documentation by health care providers to complete this task. We aimed to explore physician-related barriers to coding that results in high-quality administrative data.
