Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Clinical Coding Hubcast, where we demystify the intricacies of clinical coding. This podcast is brought to you by the Clinical Coding Hub, your ultimate online destination for unparalleled clinical coding training resources.

In this episode, our host Harvey deep-dives into the crucial aspect of maintaining an approved clinical coding auditor status and underscores the significance of Continued Professional Development (CPD). He walks you through various ways of evidencing your CPD, such as maintaining an online ePortfolio, conducting regular clinical coding audits, and more.

Harvey also highlights the prerequisites like successful completion of all three modules of the Auditor eAssessment Tool each year and the need to attend a Clinical Coding Standards Refresher Course every three years. Adherence to the Approved Auditor Code of Conduct, Harvey reminds us, is non-negotiable.

The discussion also introduces listeners to the Approved Clinical Coding Auditor Forum—an invaluable resource for auditors to stay updated, share best practices, and contribute to the Clinical Coding Quality Audit Framework.

This episode serves as a reminder that maintaining approved status is a responsibility that comes with repercussions if not met. But fear not, as Harvey assures that active participation and attendance in recommended trainings and forums can keep you on top of your coding game.
