Background

About Shien Lim

As a dedicated Health Information Manager/Clinical Coder with over 3 years of experience in the healthcare sector, I specialise in accurately translating medical procedures and diagnoses into standardised codes that are crucial for funding, research and administrative use. My expertise encompasses ICD-10-AM and National and State coding advice.At Alfred Health, I have led efforts to enhance coding accuracy and efficiency, directly improving the optimisation of funding. My meticulous attention to detail and robust knowledge of medical terminology allow me to ensure the integrity of coding in complex clinical cases. Additionally, my time at Alfred Health has equipped me with the capacity to code a wider casemix, including trauma, burns and various other medical and surgical specialties. I am passionate about using my skills to facilitate effective communication across medical and administrative departments, as my role involves liasing with clinicians as part of the documentation query process, which supports healthcare providers in delivering excellent patient care. I am continuously seeking opportunities to leverage my analytical skills in a challenging environment to further advance my career and contribute to the efficiency of healthcare services.
