| Sumario: | A report was commissioned by NHS Diabetes and the Royal College of General Practitioners in conjunction with the Department of Health to review the coding, classification and diagnosis of diabetes in primary care in England (NHS Diabetes, 2011). It identified errors in misdiagnosis, misclassification and miscoding, which would result in inappropriate management and poor outcomes. A classification algorithm and audit tool were developed to assist with the practical classification of diabetes to enable practitioners to follow clinical-based advice when coding diabetes in the future. |
