Stage
Following operational validation in 2026
[ 01 / THE BRIEF ]
Coding complex care, accurately.
Hospitals are funded for the care they deliver, so every patient episode needs to be coded accurately.
Clinical coders turn long, unstructured patient records into diagnosis and procedure codes under the Australian coding standard, ICD‑10‑AM. It’s skilled, detailed work and the volume keeps growing. Phycera built CODEXA for AusHealth to help coders work through it faster, without taking the decision out of their hands.
[ 02 / WHAT WE BUILT ]
An assistant for clinical coders.
CODEXA reads unstructured health records and suggests diagnosis and procedure codes, with funding estimates, for coders to review.
01
Reads the whole record
Analyses the unstructured notes and records that make up a patient episode.
02
Suggests codes
Proposes diagnosis and procedure codes under ICD‑10‑AM for the coder to accept or change.
03
Estimates funding
Links coding to funding estimates, helping hospitals capture the true cost of care.
04
Coders stay in control
CODEXA suggests and coders decide. It’s built to support their judgement, not replace it.

[ 03 / BUILT ON PHYCERA ]
The same foundations as Phycera’s own tools.
CODEXA runs on the same read-only platform as CCIS, so AusHealth gets the same data protections from day one.
01
Same secure connection
Read-only access to the EMR, with patient data kept inside the health network.
02
Same governance
Built within the governance pathway Phycera developed inside SA Health.
03
Focused effort
Shared foundations let the team focus on the coding problem rather than the plumbing.
[ 04 / WHERE IT’S UP TO ]
Market ready.
CODEXA is market ready, following operational validation in 2026. AusHealth owns CODEXA and leads its next steps.
