Medical Technology

Medical Technology can be defined as the technologies that diagnose, treat and/or improve a person’s health and wellbeing, encompassing both low- and high-risk medical devices – products that can be as varied from tongue depressors, surgical gloves and medical thermometers to insulin pumps, pacemakers and in vitro diagnostics – and used to save the lives of patients everywhere across Asia Pacific every day.

Every day, medical devices help save the lives of patients ..

Medical devices assist healthcare professionals to diagnose and treat patients with a higher level of accuracy and in a timelier fashion, and help patients overcome sickness or disease, improving their quality of life.

And while a global definition of what defines as a medical device is difficult to establish due to the various regulatory bodies worldwide that oversee the use and categorisation of medical devices, there is a very high likelihood that people are surrounded by medical devices without even realising it.

What is medical coding?

Medical coding is the process of translating healthcare diagnoses, procedures, services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes.

These codes are derived from various sources within the medical record, such as the physician's notes, laboratory results, and radiology findings.

They are used in the healthcare industry for a number of reasons, including billing, research, and population health statistics. Every diagnosis, treatment, medical service, or equipment used in the treatment of a patient is assigned a unique code. These codes play a crucial role in tracking patient outcomes, deciding the notion of medical necessity for reimbursements, and maintaining detailed patient records
