[The development of diagnosis coding model by means of implementing automated system of coding support: The results of functional and cost analysis].

Actually, in many medical organizations there is an inexpedient structure of labor costs of medical workers, in many respects associated with large time spent on making up medical documentation. The very important aspect is proper formulation of clinical diagnosis and its coding according to the International Classification of Diseases of the 10th revision that in most cases is performed in tradition mode (so called manual coding).
