EasyICD: AI-assisted ICD-10 clinical coding

Description

Easy-ICD is a clinical coding assistant built on NorDeClinBERT, a language model trained on Norwegian clinical documentation. It suggests ICD-10 codes directly from clinical notes, reducing the documentation burden on clinicians and coding professionals alike.

Developed under the Norwegian Research Council. NorDeClinBERT was trained on clinical notes from approximately 30000 patients in a gastroenterology department and fine-tuned using ICD-10 K-codes. Clinical evaluation shows a 46% reduction in coding time for complex cases, with similar accuracy.

HOW IT WORKS

• Clinician or coder inputs or selects a clinical note

• Model analyses Norwegian-language text and proposes ICD-10 codes

• User reviews and accepts suggestions — full clinical control retained

• Integrates into existing EPJ/EHR workflows via API

WHO IS IT FOR?

Hospital EPJ vendors — embed as a coding module

• Clinical coding departments — boost throughput

• Gastroenterology units — validated on GI clinical language

• Health IT distributors — add AI value to existing platforms
