What an assessment for HLTCCD005 must cover

55 assessable components: 2 elements (11 performance criteria), 18 performance evidence and 26 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Evaluate clinical information from health care records.

  • 1.1Determine method of accessing patient information held in health care records and Patient Administration System (PAS).
  • 1.2Interpret patient health care records completed by health care professionals.
  • 1.3Establish validity of clinical information and patient demographic and administrative data sourced in relation to episode of care being coded.
  • 1.4Confirm documentation supports coding criteria in detail required to meet coding requirements.
  • 1.5Identify ambiguous, absent and incomplete documentation and data in health care records that could affect code assignment.

2 Abstract clinical data from health care records.

  • 2.1Identify principal diagnosis according to current coding standards for an episode of care from information identified in patient health care record.
  • 2.2Identify additional diagnoses from identified patient information according to current coding standards.
  • 2.3Identify condition onset flags for diagnosis codes.
  • 2.4Identify interventions from identified patient information according to current coding standards.
  • 2.5Identify data required for coding and reporting.
  • 2.6Use reference material to assist in clarifying information.

Performance evidence

  • access and interpret clinical information from patient health care records for at least five episodes of care for each of the following:
  • infectious and parasitic diseases
  • neoplasms
  • diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and common disorders involving the immune mechanism
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
  • mental and behavioural disorders
  • diseases of the nervous system
  • diseases of the eye and adnexa
  • diseases of the ear and mastoid process
  • diseases of the circulatory system
  • diseases of the respiratory system
  • diseases of the digestive system
  • diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue
  • diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
  • diseases of the genitourinary system
  • pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium conditions originating in the perinatal period including congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified
  • injury, poisoning and causes of morbidity and mortality.

Knowledge evidence

  • types of clinical information:
  • correspondence
  • clinical notes
  • orders and prescriptions
  • operation, treatment and procedure reports
  • pathology investigation results
  • diagnostic imaging results
  • discharge summaries
  • abstracting and clinical coding methods to identify:
  • principal diagnoses, additional diagnoses and interventions
  • sequencing of diagnoses and interventions
  • ambiguous, absent and incomplete documentation and data
  • issues requiring clarification
  • organisational policies and procedures:
  • health care records storage and access
  • hard copy
  • electronic copy
  • coding clarification:
  • oral communication
  • written communication
  • selection of communication method
  • referral of unresolved issues:
  • oral communication
  • written communication

Questions about assessing HLTCCD005

What does an assessment tool for HLTCCD005 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for HLTCCD005 needs to address all 55 unit components: 2 elements with 11 performance criteria, 18 performance evidence requirements, 26 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for HLTCCD005?

Auditori pulls the current release of HLTCCD005 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for HLTCCD005 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing HLTCCD005 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of HLTCCD005, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
