Explanation / Answer
1.The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the international "standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes"( International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems).The ICD is maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO). This is a health care classification system giving of diagnostic codes for classifying diseases, signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or disease. This system is designed to know the health conditions of various generic categories with specific variations, which is assigning with a designated code, up to six characters long. The ICD is noted by the WHO and used worldwide for morbidity and mortality statistics, reimbursement systems, and automated decision support in health care. This system is designed to promote international comparability in the collection, processing, classification, and presentation of these statisticsThe ICD is revised periodically and now ICD 10 IS WIDELY USED ICD6:The ICD-6, published in 1949, was the first code of morbidity reporting.This the name is changed from International List of Causes of Death to International Statistical Classification of Diseases. The combined code based on injuries and their associated accidents was dealt into two, a chapter for injuries, and a chapter for their external causes.
ICD-7:The international Conference for the Seventh Revision of the International Classification of Diseases was held in Paris under the WHO in February 1955. With acontinuous review and strong recommendation of the WHO Expert Committee on Health Statistics, this code was revised with few changes and amendments of errors.
ICD 8:The Eighth Revision Conference by WHO held in Geneva, from 6 to 12 July 1965. This revision has unchanged basic structure of the Classification and the system of classifying diseases based on etiology rather than a manifestation. In 1968, the United States Public Health Service published the International Classification of Diseases, Adapted, 8th Revision for use in the United States (ICDA-8a). Beginning in 1968, ICDA-8a served as the basis for coding diagnostic data for both official morbidity [and mortality] statistics in the United States
