Coding

Peter Jones
For the NZ Emergency Department setting we are required to code diagnosis using only the New Zealand emergency care diagnosis reference set (ID 61000210102) https://rt2.ihtsdotools.org/details/61000210102/2026-07-20. Can this be made available to NZ ED sites when using Heidi? It should be the only coding platform available for NZ ED sites to avoid confusion?
This would help reduce clinician time and frustration having to search for codes manually and increase coding accuracy as they would be less likely to use non-specific codes. There are 'NZ preferred terms' that should be visible in the coding suggestions.

So the ideal experience would be for Heidi to automatically restrict diagnosis coding suggestions to the approved NZ reference set, display the NZ preferred terms, and make this the default for clinicians working in NZ EDs?
Would you want this configured at the hospital or organisation level, so that all clinicians at your ED automatically use the correct reference set without needing to select it themselves?
