MKE-Coder is a novel system that automatically assigns International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes to Chinese electronic medical records (EMRs) by addressing their unique linguistic challenges.

Key Innovations:

• Implements a multi-axial knowledge framework to extract disease-related information from concise Chinese EMRs
• Employs evidence verification to improve coding accuracy and clinical validity
• Effectively handles the specific structure and linguistic patterns of Chinese medical documentation

Business Impact: This research bridges a critical gap in medical coding automation for Chinese healthcare institutions, potentially improving billing accuracy, clinical documentation quality, and data standardization across hospitals.
