A new coding feature introduced with ICD-11, the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), is postcoordination, which supports combining (linking) two or more codes into a cluster that describes a clinical concept. Postcoordination allows for coded data to be reported to a greater level of specificity than was possible in previous version of ICD. The linked codes are kept together in a cluster when submitted for reporting. This article presents background detail on the postcoordination feature in ICD and the postcoordination tool. Also presented are several examples that demonstrate the flexibility that ICD-11 provides for enriching coded health information.
ICD-11 引入了一种新的编码功能,即国际疾病分类第 11 次修订版 (ICD) 的后协调。后协调支持将两个或多个代码组合(链接)到一个描述临床概念的簇中。后协调允许报告比 ICD 以前版本更具体的编码数据。在提交报告时,链接代码将一起保留在一个簇中。本文介绍了 ICD 中的后协调功能和后协调工具的背景详细信息。还提供了几个示例,展示了 ICD-11 为丰富编码健康信息提供的灵活性。
