	ICD Help
		The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is designed for the classification of Morbidity and Mortality information for statistical purposes, and for the indexing of hospital records by disease and operations, for data storage and retrieval.
		The anatomist, for example, may desire a classification based on the part of the body affected whereas the pathologist is primarily interested in the nature of the disease process, the public health practitioner in aetiology and the clinician in the particular manifestation requiring his care.
		Several classifications may therefore, be used with advantage; and the physician, the pathologist, or the jurist, each from his own point of view, may legitimately classify the diseases and the causes of death in the way that he thinks best adapted to facilitate his inquiries, and to yield general results.

		The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the classification used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates.
		The International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is used to code and classify morbidity data from the inpatient and outpatient records, physician offices, and most National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) surveys.
		NCHS serves as the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center for the Family of International Classifications for North America and in this capacity is responsible for coordination of all official disease classification activities in the United States relating to the ICD and its use, interpretation, and periodic revision.

	International Classification Of Diseases - 9 - CM, (1979)
		This third edition of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is being published by the United States Government in recognition of its responsibility to promulgate this classification throughout the United States for mobidity coding.
		The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, PUBLISHED BY THE World Health Organization (WHO) is the foundation of the ICD-9-CM and continues to be the classification employed in cause-of-death coding in the United States.
		In 1966, the international conference for the revision of the International Classification of Diseases noted that the 8th revision of ICD has been constructed with hospital indexing in mind and considered that the revised classification would be suitable, in itself, for hospital use in some countries.

	WHO \| The WHO Family of International Classifications
		The WHO constitution mandates the production of international classifications on health so that there is a consensual, meaningful and useful framework which governments, providers and consumers can use as a common language.
		The basis for the WHO Family of International Classifications and the principles governing the admission of classifications are set out in the paper on the "WHO Family of International Classifications'.
		Classifications capture snapshot views of population health using such parameters as death, disease, functionality, disability, health and health interventions, which inform management and decision making process in the health system.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Feasibility and validity of International Classification of Diseases based case mix indices
		The research objective of this study is to ascertain the construct validity of CMIs derived from International Classification of Diseases (ICD) in comparison with DRG CMI.
		The term "case mix" has emerged to reflect the fact that, within a population, individual patients may have a range of risks, and the aggregate outcome reflects the aggregate risks; as a result, case mix is a useful concept when comparing the performance of hospitals and clinicians[2].
		Although the ICD does not take severity of illness or resource consumption into consideration in classifying patients[6], if averaging based upon classification can diminish the variation of treatment patterns, one should be able to apply the ICD to derive the CMI as well.

	Understanding ICD-10: International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition
		The World Health Organization’s ICD (International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems), from which ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM are derived, is the international standard diagnostic classification for all general epidemiological and many health management purposes.
		It is used to classify diseases and other health problems recorded on many types of health and vital records including death certificates and patient medical records.
		The development of WHO’s ICD-10 was based on the realization that the great expansion in the use of the ICD necessitated a thorough rethinking of its structure and an effort to devise a stable and flexible classification that would not require fundamental revision for many years to come.
