What is ICD code?
The full form of ICD is the International Classification of Diseases. WHO created International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a medical classification list of codes to help develop a universal code for doctors and insurance companies worldwide.
It contains codes for diseases and causes of injuries and deaths. The universal codes help doctors, and insurance companies keep a record of patients.
What is the latest version of ICD?
The latest version of ICD is the ICS-11 which WHO released a preview in 2019 with 55,000 codes for causes of death, diseases, and injuries. The new revision was designed to simplify the coding structure, so healthcare providers can more easily record medical conditions.
