Feds looking for mobile app to improve clinical coding and documentation
The federal Department of Health has issued a request for tender on behalf of the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) for a mobile app to improve clinical documentation and coding in patient medical records.
The tender says the IHPA is looking for an app that clinicians can use in their day-to-day work and includes content that applies Australian coding standards and prompts clinicians to use accurate medical terminology when describing symptoms, diagnostic testing, results and treatment.

I'd recommend starting the process within one clinical discipline and exploring how, with that group of clinicians, could you leverage existing processes or behaviours and incorporate the content into those processes and iterating the resulting product from there.
During this period a process had to be defined to educate the Doctor's on how to use the feature.
