A method comprising:
- on a computer system comprising at least one server computer, maintaining a stored list of medical codes;
- for each electronic medical-chart image in a plurality of batches of electronic medical-chart images, the computer system allowing the electronic medical-chart image to be viewed and coded in a single software application, the allowing comprising:
- causing the electronic medical-chart image to be displayed in a first part of the single software application;
- and
- providing a search interface for searching the stored list of medical codes in a second part of the single software application;
- receiving, via the search interface, a search request based on information from the displayed electronic medical-chart image;
- locating at least one medical code in the stored list responsive to the search request;
- receiving identification of a selected medical code of the at least one medical code;
- receiving selection of a position on the displayed electronic medical-chart image at which the selected medical code is to be published;
- publishing the selected medical code, at the position, directly on the displayed electronic medical-chart image;
- and
- causing the published selected medical code to be displayed, at the position, directly on the displayed electronic medical-chart image;
- and
- saving the electronic medical-chart image with the published selected medical code as a modified electronic medical-chart image;
- and
- the computer system tracking a number of medical codes assigned per electronic medical-chart image and per batch.
