Coding & classification of diseases
Coding: It is the assignment of a code for a
diagnostic statement, related health conditions, or
cause of death as identified by the health care.
Classification of diseases: It can be defined as a
system of categories to which morbid entities are
assigned according to established criteria.
International Statistical Classification of Diseases
and Related Health Problems (ICD) is used world-
wide for morbidity and mortality statistics,
reimbursement systems and automated decision
support in medicine.
ICD: International Classification of Diseases
ICD permits the systematic recording, analysis, interpretation,
comparison of mortality & morbidity data collected in
different countries or areas & at different times.
It translates diagnoses of diseases & other health problems
from words into an numeric/alphanumeric code, which
permits easy storage, retrieval & analysis of the data
