Guy's and St Thomas' 'significantly worse' than national average for coding errors

A report to the NHS South East London based on the commission’s report said: “The performance of the trust, with a clinical coding Healthcare Resource Group error rate of 23 per cent, was significantly worse [in 2011-12] than the national average.

“Adequate progress had been made implementing previously agreed actions to improve outpatients coding and reference costs data, but progress for
inpatients data was limited.”
