Nurses’ business : an introduction to costing and coding in health care

Published by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN, September 2007), this 30-page booklet provides detailed information on Payment by Results (PbR), the new system by which money flows around the NHS in England. Issues in clinical coding, the nurses’ role and future developments are also discussed. Although this booklet reflects the financial reform agenda in NHS England, there are some principles which nurses in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland may also find useful. It is primarily aimed at nurses working at ward manager level, but is also designed to be accessible to all levels of nurses including health care assistants and nursing students. The publication is due for renewal in September 2009.
