This system is deeply embedded within the Health Board’s informatics infrastructure and is used for inpatient coding, HRG grouping, SNOMED CT mapping, and data validation. These functions are critical for accurate revenue reporting and compliance with NHS digital standards. Due to the proprietary nature of the software and its integration with existing systems, only the incumbent supplier can ensure continuity of service without disruption or data loss. No other supplier can provide the same technical solution without significant reconfiguration, retraining, and risk to data integrity.\nThe 3M™ Medicode 360 system represents a unique and proprietary solution developed by KCI Medical Limited (Solventum). Its design, functionality, and integration capabilities are not replicated by any other supplier in the market. The software’s architecture and clinical coding algorithms are considered intellectual property and are not available through alternative vendors. As such, the system qualifies as a unique performance or creation, and its continued use is essential to maintain consistency in clinical coding and reporting across the Health Board.",
