Overview
Codes change yearly! We take seriously our obligation to provide you with accurate and up-to-date instruction. This course is updated for the FY 2026 code set.
Practical Coding Experience: Inpatient Trauma provides hands-on coding practice coupled with detailed guidance on correct ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS code assignment. Using Libman Education’s proprietary Coding Workspace™ format, learners sharpen their coding skills interpreting real-world documentation from diagnoses and procedures varying in complexity from basic to advanced.
Learn to ‘think like a coder!’ Practical Coding Experience: Inpatient Trauma duplicates the viewing of typed documents in the electronic health record (EHR) and requires the coder to apply a Facility Coding Policy, the conventions and Official Coding Guidelines for the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS code sets as codes are assigned.
Progressive learning! Starting with coding of short cases featuring limited diagnoses and procedures, learners progress to coding larger cases with multiple interconnected diagnoses and several related procedures. The cases are easy to navigate and the steps are intuitive.
- Practical Coding Experience: Inpatient Trauma 1 provides a selection of 5 cases appropriate for someone new to inpatient trauma coding.
- Practical Coding Experience: Inpatient Trauma 2 provides 5 additional cases to continue to improve your accuracy and increase productivity.
- Practical Coding Experience: Inpatient Trauma 3 provides 5 additional cases for additional practice and challenge with a focus on fractures including skull and facial fractures.
- Practical Coding Experience: Inpatient Trauma 4 provides 5 additional cases rounding out your experience with traumatic cases involving complex injuries including gunshot wounds and internal injuries.

It’s like having a personal coding mentor! Practical Coding Experience: Inpatient Trauma simulates the educational method used during in-person training. Learners receive immediate feedback on codes assigned with detailed rationales. Use the in-course feedback button for additional coaching from Libman Education educators.
The learning does not stop once the coding is done! Each case is annotated with information that helps the coder identify where all the necessary details to support code selection are found in the documentation. LibmanLightbox™ modules provide additional vital information to enhance the coder’s depth of understanding.
Plus more! A detailed course completion certificate identifies the concepts mastered in the cases, suitable for use during the interview process as proof of experience.
How it works: Using Libman Education’s proprietary Coding Workspace™ format, learners sharpen their coding skills interpreting real-world documentation from inpatient trauma cases varying in complexity from basic to advanced. and make you truly workforce ready! The learner will:
- Access the work queue of carefully selected cases that demonstrate key concepts and coding challenges
- Evaluate the documentation, determine what to abstract, and apply UHDDS definitions to assign both ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes
- “Finalize” code selection and receive immediate feedback identifying correct codes and any additional codes missed
- Re-review the documentation now annotated to show where the necessary details to support code selection are found
- View LibmanLightbox™ modules that provide additional vital information to enhance the coder’s depth of understanding
- Realistic workplace Coding Quality Measure: 90% performance on final assessment required to earn CEU
