ICD -10 INTRODUCTION CLASS - 1

The ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) is a medical classification system developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). It provides codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. Here's a brief introduction:

Introduction to ICD-10

ICD-10 stands for the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision. It is a globally used diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management, and clinical purposes. Published by the World Health Organization (WHO), ICD-10 is used by healthcare providers around the world to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures.

Purpose and Use

To standardize disease classification worldwide

For health statistics, billing, and insurance reimbursement

To support decision-making in clinical care and public health

For research and tracking of disease incidence and prevalence

Structure of ICD-10

ICD-10 codes are alphanumeric and organized into chapters based on body systems or types of conditions. For example:

A00–B99: Infectious and parasitic diseases

C00–D48: Neoplasms

E00–E90: Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases

I00–I99: Diseases of the circulatory system

Each code typically has a letter followed by two digits (e.g., E11 for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus), and may include further decimal subdivisions to provide more specificity (e.g., E11.9 for Type 2 diabetes without complications).

Global Implementation

Different countries may adapt ICD-10 to create national clinical modifications (e.g., ICD-10-CM in the United States). The ICD is updated periodically, and the 11th revision (ICD-11) was released in 2019, with countries transitioning gradually.
