Cerner is the market leader in next generation advanced Computer Assisted Coding (CAC)

Our Computer Assisted Coding solution, Discern nCode™ for Ambulatory (formerly known as GoCode), is a Natural Language Programming (NLP) based solution that systematically reviews and translates physician notes into E&M, ICD-9, CPT, and SNOMED-CT codes for billing purposes. Quality measures and research objectives can also be obtained using this information. The Discern nCode solution can process physician notes that have been documented using structure, freetext, or even dictated notes after they have been transcribed.

Your healthcare organization can use Discern nCode to:

• Enhance reimbursement due to more accurate and consistent coding
• Increase operational efficiencies through additional workflow automation
• Reduce compliance risk through standardized application of coding guidelines

Cerner Discern nCode is integrated with our PowerChart family of EMRs. Cerner currently supports General Internal Medicine and 13 other sub-specialty medical practice areas in the ambulatory space.
