  • Guideline Application: Work to a coding guideline covering hierarchy scope, negation, medication scope, section-level inclusions and compound coding, applied consistently across a large volume of documents.
  • Edge Case Handling: Flag ambiguous or contested cases with a short rationale so guidance can be refined.
  • Quality Review: Participate in adjudication rounds to resolve disagreements and reach a consensus code set.
