<![CDATA[Knowledge is the result of the act of knowing, occurring after an individual perceives a specific object through the human senses—namely sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. The majority of human knowledge is acquired through the eyes and ears. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge among medical coders regarding disease coding for the cardiovascular system based on ICD-10 at RSU Imelda Pekerja Indonesia in 2024. A qualitative research method with a descriptive approach was employed. The study involved five subjects (informants). Data collection techniques included observation and interviews guided by an interview protocol. Regarding educational background, all participating coders shared the same qualification: a Diploma III (D-III) in Medical Record and Health Information Management (RMIK). Coders with more than five years of experience demonstrated superior knowledge compared to those with less than five years of experience; this was particularly true for coders who had previously worked in registration and analysis departments, as their experience in the analysis section provided them with familiarity regarding the content of medical records. The study concludes that educational background does not directly influence coding accuracy at RSU Imelda Pekerja Indonesia, as all participating coders held the same educational qualification (D-III RMIK).]]>
