THE
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES (ICD)-11 MMS
INTRODUCTION
The ICD11 has been updated for the 21st century to reflect the significant progress in science and medicine over the past 30 years and has been designed for use with digital health applications and information systems.
The International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) is the international standard for systematic recording, reporting, analysis, interpretation and comparison of mortality and morbidity data.
The 11th revision (ICD11) is the result of a collaboration with clinicians, statisticians, epidemiologists, coders, classification and IT experts from around the world.
ICD-11 is a scientifically rigorous product which accurately reflects contemporary health and medical practice, and representing a significant upgrade from earlier Revisions.
For the first time, ICD11 will enable dual coding of traditional medicine diagnoses alongside mainstream medicine and now also permits the generation of a functioning score based on the WHO Disability Assessment Scheme (WHODAS).
SIGNIFICANT FEATURE:
ICD11 is two things:
• A revised classification system
with much more than diseases
- The 11th ICD Revision has resulted in a reformulated chapter structure and indexing system. It comprises over 55 000 entities.
- Besides diseases, ICD includes disorders, injuries, external causes, signs and symptoms, substances, medicaments, anatomy, devices, histopathology, severity and much more and 120 000 clinical terms (and can code millions of terms), with thousands of new categories and updated classification schemes.
• In digital format
- Unlike any previous Revision of ICD, it is digital, comprising tools and software for using the classification to generate accurate descriptions of health event information.
- It is designed to integrate with local health information systems rather than to introduce an additional layer of administration. It may be used either online or offline. It is Digital health or e-Health compatible and is interoperable with Health Information Systems.
- By integrating with local IT infrastructure, the classification also becomes a data collection system, that is, rather than having multiple steps of transcription from paper, using the Browser to generate a correct code also enables that code to be directly recorded.
- There is no longer a need to search or memorise codes – entering a term into the Coding Tool leads the clinician or the coder to the correct ICD code.
1. Up-to-date scientific knowledge
2. Improvements and additions
3. Ease of use
4. Multiple applications to meet health system priorities

BASIC CODE STRUCTURE OF ICD-11
- The diagnostic codes of ICD-11 are alphanumeric and
cover the range from 1A00.00 to ZZ9Z.ZZ.
- The coding scheme always has a letter in
the second position to differentiate from the codes of ICD-10.
- Chapters are indicated by the first
character. For example, 1A00 is a code in Chapter 1, and BA00 is a code in
Chapter 11.
- ICD-11 has an explicit way of marking
codes that are post coordinated to describe one condition, called
cluster coding. This is a notable new feature in ICD-11 that creates
an ability to link core diagnostic concepts (i.e. stem code
concepts) when desired, and/or to add clinical concepts captured in
extension codes to primary stem code concepts.
- In addition for the first time, ICD-11
will be fully electronic, providing access to 17,000 diagnostic
categories, with over 1, 00,000 medical diagnostic index terms. The
index-based search algorithm interprets more than 1.6 million terms. Per
the WHO, ICD-11 is easy to install and use online or offline, using
free “container” software
