Author Description

This manual is intended to be used as a basic instruction tool. It will help promote an understanding of diseases and operations described in casenotes by providing information on body systems, how they work together, and the terminology used to describe them. The intended result is that those responsible for clinical coding will be better able to translate these concepts into the appropriate clinical codes. This instruction manual explains and illustrates the body system by system. To assist the reader in understanding individual systems, each chapter is provided with full colour diagrams, exercises and a glossary of relevant terms.
