ICD10 Explorer

What is ICD-10?
The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10) is a coding of diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances and external causes of injury or diseases.

How can these codes be useful to me?
Individuals
Using a code is the most efficient way to transfer a diagnosis from one physician to another (especially if you don’t speak the same language). E.g. you are traveling abroad, something happens to you and you visit a local doctor. How much time you need to explain your medical record in another language? Then, you get a diagnosis from the local doctor and you want a second opinion from your regular doctor back home. Without codes it is much more difficult to do that.
Plus, data captured by the code sets could be used in more meaningful ways to better understand complications, design clinically robust algorithms, and track care outcomes. Therefore, by using codes you help medicine to advance.

Professionals
Complete and accurate diagnostic and procedural coded data are necessary for research, epidemiology, outcomes and statistical analysis, financial and strategic planning, reimbursement, evaluation of quality of care, and communication to support the patient's treatment.
As we become a global community, it is vital our health care data represent current medical conditions and technologies, and that they are compatible with the international version of ICD-10. In addition to the need for precise diagnosis and procedure codes for payment purposes, detain and precision in coding are critical to the national and international health care community for mortality reporting, bio-surveillance, treatment of patients, hospital management, and research.
