All Resolutions coders are regularly audited, educated and assessed. Whatever your organisation’s needs, you can be sure of your Resolutions coder’s expertise! Here’s just a few of our team…………
Auditing Team
Our auditors have worked in every Australian state and territory, from public to private hospital, and have been involved in the development of the Australian coding standards at some stage. They participate in clinical specialty groups and have NCCH experience. Some of our more experienced auditors are currently involved with the WHO, consulting in ICD-11 – and this places Resolutions right at the forefront of this field.
All our auditors have been involved with large-scale state and international audits. They have all completed a certificate of training and development which incorporates important communication skills. We allocate auditors with skills that match the audit hospital’s needs.

Our educators have been trained to provide accurate coding and casemix information. Personable and respectful individuals, they are experienced in tailoring content to the client’s requirements. They have all completed a certificate of training and development which incorporates important communication skills, crucial to high-quality delivery of education.
All our educators have been involved with previous NCCH workshops or seminars and have conducted international educational programs.
