The High-Impact Code Warning adds a brief, intentional checkpoint when a clinically significant code is about to be saved to a patient's record. It lets your team keep coding documents quickly while ensuring that the most consequential codes receive a final confirmation before they reach the record.
Why we built this
Annie, Anima's AI, suggests and applies SNOMED codes so coders can review and save to record efficiently. For the vast majority of codes, that flow is exactly what you want: fast, accurate, and low-effort.
A small number of codes carry significant clinical or administrative weight. Applying them in error can have a real impact on patient care and on downstream processes.
The High-Impact Code Warning is designed to give your team the best of both worlds:
Maintain efficiency. Routine coding is unaffected. Your team keeps the speed they're used to.
Maintain clinical safety. When a high-impact code is applied, there's a deliberate pause to confirm it's the appropriate code before it's saved.
The goal is to increase the speed and efficiency of your team while preserving the clinical safety net around the codes that matter most.
How to turn it on and customise
The feature is configured at organisation level, so the setting applies consistently across your team.
Go to Settings > Organisation Settings > Documents — Processing.
Find High-Impact Code Warning and toggle on Show warning for custom list of codes
Enter your custom list of codes.
Press Save Changes to apply.
Once enabled, the warning is active for everyone processing documents in your organisation.
What happens when a high-impact code is saved to record?
When a coder saves a document to record, Anima checks whether Annie suggested and applied a high-impact code as part of that document.
If a high-impact code is present, the coder sees a warning letting them know that a high-impact code is about to be applied to the record.
The coder can then choose to either:
Confirm and save the document to record, or
Go back to check the document and confirm the code has been applied appropriately.
Codes that were manually searched and added by team members will not provide a warning.
This means nothing is blocked or slowed down unnecessarily — the warning simply ensures a conscious, confirmed decision at the point a high-impact code reaches the record.
