Compare and contrast the two coding classification systems that are currently used in the US healthcare system. - ICD: International classification of disease codes are used to provide payer info on necessity of visit or procedure p erformed. Shorthand for pt's dx. CPT: common procedural terminology codes offer the official procedural coding rules and guidelines required when reporting medical services and procedures performed by physician and non -physician providers.

How do specificity, sensitivity, and predictive value contribute to the usefulness of diagnostic data? - Specificity: ability of a test to correctly detect a specific condition. If a pt has a condition but test is negative, it is a false ne gative. If pt does NOT have condition but test is positive, it is false positive. Sensitivity: test that has few false negatives. Ability of a test to correctly identify a specific condition when it is present. The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the l ikelihood of a false negative. Predictive value: The likelihood that the pt actually has the condition and is, in part, dependent upon the prevalence of the condition in the population. If a condition is highly likely, the positive result would be more ac curate. Diagnostic tests can be used to confirm or rule out hypotheses. Diagnostic tests may be used to screen for conditions. Diagnostic tests may be used to monitor the progress in managing a chronic condition.
