description Highlights This systematic review and meta-analysis uncovered that in China, there’s a shortage of medical records coding staff, coupled with heavy coding workloads. The insights gleaned from analyzing the allocation of medical records to full-time coders in China offer valuable guidance and benchmarks for hospitals in allocating these tasks. Ensuring accurate coding is pivotal for reliable data collection and the effective implementation of Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) and Diagnosis Intervention Package (DIP) systems nationwide.
