Discipline-specific
IPA AND NIPAClasscifications
and CodesThese are the nationally agreed activity descriptions
that allied health departments are encouraged to use for internal
management purposes, to permit benchmarking across facilities,
costing studies, research activities and to influence national
and state classification and funding models. Coding staff
will not be coding these activities.On the basis of
the IPA classifications developed by the professions, the
National Centre for Classification in Health (NCCH) has adapted
and modified these to produce four digit codes (in bold) for
the interventions of
- assessment
/ evaluation
- therapeutic
intervention
- counselling
and education
- case management
and discharge planning
- other interventions
These are generic
across the disciplines but a different numeric code has
been assigned for each discipline.Seven digit codes (in
plain text) represent the discipline specific intervention
sub-types below the five intervention categories.
