India is the second-largest destination for healthcare outsourcing work from majority of US hospitals, healthcare organizations, and other companies. Due to this high amount of outsourcing work, the demand for specialists, particularly trained medical coders, is very high.

The process of standardising recorded medical words is known as medical coding. Medical coders converts doctors' reports into practical medical codes. These experts make sure that all relevant data is correctly entered to guarantee correctness and consistency. For uniformity, and validity in clinical research, it is crucial to utilize standardized terminology in clinical trials.

These code sets assist coders in describing the medical operation carried out on a patient in response to the patient's condition as well as their current state of health.
