Computerized-assisted coding system can reduce the burden of coding with ICD classification book and enhances the quality of ICD coding. Since web-based information system has the structure with master-slave mode, not limited to time, place, type of computer and browser can be used, friendly interface and easy operation characteristics, we develop a web-based disease classification coding system in order to enhance the accuracy of ICD coding and improve the work load of the classification of diseases. Users can query right information by entering a single or multiple keywords which are allowed to enter only the initial letter keyword. Systems translate those results into a drop-down menu for users to select the next keywords easily.
We presented a demonstration of a web-based coding system for ICD to test and compare with manual coding. The results showed that coding with the help of computerized coding system developed takes less time than coding with manual process statistically significant (P＜0.001). We concluded that the use of this computerized browsing and coding system by coders can reduce the time spent on coding and improve coders，task loading. This anticipated benefit of the coding system for coders will be confirmed from future research.
