ICD-10 has tried to be more accurate in making the diagnosis, thereby going into great detail, with the obvious effects of bloat.
The ICD-10 -PCS is taking quite the opposite way of doing things, but could be difficult to get people to use it for this reason. They will not have their favorite
Is NetEpi based on EpiInfo or something growing out of that?? I used EpiInfo it some years ago and can remember writing to the CDC to create a linux version :-)

Yes, I didn't mean to say OSHCA should go on developing standards. I think the better phrase is
'to implement open standards using open source software'.
Proceeding with open source software development without agreements in common standards can even
speed up the fragmentation the current infor
I agree with Heitzso. ICD-10 suffers from 'usability' issues. Yet unlike the better systems (ie,
SNOMED) it is freely accessible.
Perhaps OSHCA can make a statement making ICD-10 the 'least common denominator' together with the
caveats and recommendations as cited by Heitzso?

I do *strongly* recommend researching human engineering studies
re determine whether a fine granularity such as is provided by ICD-10,
which may be very accurate from a technical point of view, does, in
practice, provide more accuracy than a lower granularity encoding.
If such a study does not e

This is the ideal. But if the differences between the two are substantial, it could be a lot of work. IDC-9 was never made for electronic medical records - just paper. I am not sure if ICD-10 is, but it is more likely to be electronically usable. ICD-10-PCS on the other hand was made exclusive

That was my general implication: I have enough CD-Rs floating around

First thread:
I propose we standardize on ICD-10 (as a minimum). It's an international standard anyway (albeit
difficult to use). This of course does not preclude the others from using SNOMED if they can
afford to do so.
That being the case, OSHCA can also 'standardize' on the preferred mappi
