<abstract>The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a system for systematically recording patients’ diagnoses. Clinicians or professional coders assign ICD codes to patients’ medical records to facilitate funding, research, and administration. In most health facilities, clinical coding is a manual, time-demanding task that is prone to errors. A tool that automatically assigns ICD codes to free-text clinical notes could save time and reduce erroneous coding.
