Abstract
Physician billing claims are rich sources of administrative health data. However, diagnostic codes in billing claims are drawn from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (WHO & International Conference for the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases 1977), which has not been updated by the World Health Organization in three decades. With its updated and expanded content and its digital tooling, the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11) (WHO n.d.a.) could be considered for this purpose. Primary care practitioners have always found the ICD inadequate for their needs. This may change with ICD-11, with which the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) (van Boven and Ten Napel 2021) is more closely aligned. ICD-11, ICPC and the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms present evolving options for capturing diagnoses in physician data.
医生账单报销是丰富的卫生行政数据来源。然而,账单报销单中的诊断代码来自《国际疾病分类第九修订版》(WHO & International Conference for the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases 1977),世界卫生组织已有三十年未对其进行更新。国际疾病分类第 11 次修订版》(ICD-11)(WHO n.d.a.)的内容得到了更新和扩充,并采用了数字化工具,因此可以考虑将其用于这一目的。初级保健医生一直认为 ICD 不能满足他们的需求。ICD-11 可能会改变这种状况,因为国际初级保健分类(ICPC)(van Boven 和 Ten Napel,2021 年)与 ICD-11 更为一致。ICD-11、ICPC 和《医学临床术语系统命名法》为采集医生数据中的诊断提供了不断发展的选择。
