PCSI 2025 is in full swing here in Québec, and the conversations taking place highlight just how important trusted data has become to the future of healthcare.
What we’re sharing at PCSI:
- Autonomous ‘no touch’ coding pilots are underway in hospitals across Australia, the UK, and Canada. Early results show that automation can achieve accuracy levels comparable to manual coding, while easing the workload on human coders.
- Predictive forecasting with Health Roundtable is shifting benchmarking into a forward-looking tool. Hospitals are now using forecasts to anticipate risks, plan staffing, and test strategies before implementation.
- Canadian large-scale coding audits with PHSA and Interior Health reviewed over 1,400 hospital records, helping to identify opportunities to strengthen coder education and data quality practices. With the launch of PICQ Canada, locally relevant indicators are now supporting consistency, benchmarking, and continuous coding assurance across the health system.
- Saudi Arabia’s national PICQ dashboards developed in partnership with CNHI and Lean are providing real-time insights into safety, quality, and population health. They demonstrate how Australian-developed indicators can be adapted to new healthcare systems, making quality-assured coding data more accessible and valuable at scale.
Why this matters:
Across all of these projects, the same theme emerges: high-quality, transparent data is not just a reporting tool it’s the foundation for safer, more sustainable healthcare systems.
The discussions this week are reinforcing the global momentum behind coding quality and benchmarking, and it has been energising to share results and hear perspectives from leaders around the world.
