- Project Abstract:
For hospitals one of the main problems in the process of generating mortality and morbidity data that is common to all countries, this requires both statistical and medical expertise. Medical doctors give a list of billing quotes, called ICD, however, this part is manually input, it is very time consuming, and increases the possibility for errors. This makes it difficult for the medical team to clearly assess the data. Which is why the creation of a web application with the utilization of the IDE "RStudio" and its many packages, it would facilitate the use of ICD-9 codes for medical teams. The app would help this process by helping the doctors get a better diagnosis and being more efficient in every possible way, by eliminating the possibility for manually input data errors, being a fast resource, and a trusted app.
