Icd 10 and Its Implementation
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a program that is designed in order to record statistics of morbidity and mortality and for the indexing of hospital records of disease.
ICD is published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
It has always been statistically difficult to categorize diseases according to any one specific category since different professions that work with diseases have traditionally classified them according to different categories. The pathologist, for instance, is primarily interested in the natural course of the disease process, whilst the anatomist may prefer to have a classification that groups the disease according to the effected part of the body. The statistical classification of disease and injuries depends upon how the practitioner will use it, but since each practitioner uses it according to his particular field, statistical programs have generally had a hard time categorizing diseases statistically. More so, adjustments also have to be made to meet the different requirements of various different agencies, for instance, armed forces, hospitals, and medical services. For these reasons the ICD- 10-CM came out as an attempted improvement to its predecessors.
