And now here we are in 2022, with implementation likely in the very near future. In 2007, the World Health Organization, WHO, started work on ICD-11.

The current high tech world requires ease for things like data exchange, maintenance and development that aid in the translation and modifications of the system. And then finally, the need to work within an electronic environment is ever increasing. Also, there is a need to capture more information, especially for morbidity cases. And there were some chapters that needed structural changes. So ICD-10 in its current format could not sustain the changes necessary to support the advances we have seen over the last two to three decades. With major advancements in medicine and science, it was clear that ICD-10 could not accommodate the changes necessary from a classification or from a clinical standpoint. There are a few reasons that this revision was necessary. After almost 30 years since the creation of ICD-10, it is easy to understand the need for an update. So can you first give us some background on the need for an 11th revision of ICD?īridget: Yes. Bridget, welcome back to the show.īridget Nolan: Hi, Mike.
