Terminology and disease classification are now consistent with new technology and current clinical practice. Injuries, poisonings and external causes are much more detailed in ICDCM, including the severity of injuries, and how and where injuries happened. Extensions are also used to provide additional information for many injury codes. Pregnancy trimester is designated for ICDCM codes in the pregnancy, delivery and puerperium chapter.
Postoperative codes are expanded and now distinguish between intraoperative and post-procedural complications. Get Email Updates. To receive email updates about this page, enter your email address: Email Address.

Their dedication to preparation, education and stakeholder buy-in was surely something we can use as a model. How well we use the lessons learned by other countries likely will dictate our success. As mentioned earlier, we are unsure about the arrival date of ICDCM in our country, but we do know that eventually it will be implemented. The more we prepare, the better.
In May Brittney graduated summa cum laude from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, where she majored in health information management. To comment on this article please go to. Innes, K. Ten down under: implementing ICD in Australia. Moskal, L. Roberts, R. ICD An update on the worldwide implementation - the Australian experience. Roop, E. Register to listen. Australia Australia began using ICD for capturing mortality data in — around the same time health officials in that country realized that the use of ICD for collecting morbidity data was on the horizon.
Canada Much also can be learned from our neighbor to the north, Canada, when it comes to ICD implementation. Conclusion Although Australia and Canada are very different from the United States in many ways, much can be learned from their success stories.

Accordingly, ICD was first used for the coding of national mortality data. The Czech Republic, Denmark, Romania, Slovakia, and Thailand implemented ICD for mortality coding in , and since that time 33 additional countries have joined them. The conversion from ICD-9 to ICD had an effect on coders and the mortality data system as a whole, including the revision of instruction manuals and development of new medical software to replace the manual coding process.
In addition, the states and NCHS developed standard data collection and model procedures for the uniform registration of events i. Instructional materials were also made available to make it easier to properly complete a death certificate.
In the sixth revision to ICD, codes were added to allow for the collection of data for morbidity statistics for non-fatal diseases, injuries, or health-related problems. This extension has continued with subsequent revisions, including ICD But implementation of ICD for morbidity coding has been slower, with only two countries using it for this purpose in and 13 coming on board after Currently, an implementation date for morbidity data reporting in the United States has not been scheduled.
Once the first set of standards is in place, a new phase of public hearings is required, along with publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking and a final notice for any changes to occur. What if the system needs to be modified between revisions?
For the first time since its initial publication, a process has been developed for ICD to be modified between revisions. All proposals for changes to ICD must be sponsored by one of the nine Collaborating Centres for Classification of Disease for the United States, the centre is the NCHS and submitted based on a timeline tied to the annual meeting of centre heads.
If the modification is accepted, both WHO and the nine centres are responsible for distribution. Implementation would coincide with the annual updating cycle established by the centre but would be no later than the beginning of the calendar year commencing 15 months after each centre head meeting.
Not surprisingly, a clinical modification for ICD for morbidity purposes is in the works in the United States. The revision included recommendations from a technical advisory panel as well as help from physician groups, clinical coders, and others to ensure clinical appropriateness and function.
Since that time, comments from various organizations and individuals have been under review.
