Sorry for cross posting... but thought my comment also is relevant on this thread:
Folks, I strongly advise not putting ICD-10 in your dictionaries for clinical use. ICD-10 is a classification, administrative terminology and is not designed for front-line clinical use. We (CIEL/MVP) include ICD-10 as mapped terminology but use separate concepts for actual data collection. For example, a patient does not present with "Other disease of blood and blood-forming organs". That can be a classification after the fact, but we should record what the patient actually has. You also have a problem if the text of the code or the code itself changes... that is why it is best to separate this from the actual concepts used in the record. Happy to discuss this more.... but quick and easy is not always best for long term sustainability and interoperability... Best, Andy -------------------- Andrew S.
