Mean, We are using ICD-10-WHO as maps to our diagnostic concepts. They are used primarily for coding of reports, unlike ICD-9-CM which is used primarily for financial reimbursement in the USA. We haven't written any specific reports to take advantage of the mappings as yet, although I think that building this into the data warehousing project for automated aggregation is a natural way to go.
Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO) is a private company in the US that I work with which provides terminologies to US-based EMR companies and they also have cross-maps from the OpenMRS concept dictionary to ICD-9-CM. However, this is a very important crossmap and it costs money to license. Let me know if you have any intention to use it and I can help. I believe that ICD-10-WHO will be used in Rwanda (although they may go with the Australian modification). Perhaps others can chime in about that. These administrative codesets are not very clinically useful. We also map to SNOMED CT as this is a more robust ontology which provides parent-child relationships to concepts among other relationships. Best, Andy -------------------- Andrew S.
