New Release: Updated International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision

An Updated International Classification of Diseases,10th Revision (ICD–10–CM) 

About this report:
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) have routinely collaborated with injury epidemiology partners to develop standard injury surveillance case definitions based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). With the 2015 transition to the use of the ICD, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD–10–CM) for reporting medical information in administrative claims data, NCHS and NCIPC proposed an ICD–10–CM surveillance case definition for injury hospitalizations. This report summarizes the findings from the testing process and describes how the findings were used to update the proposed case definition. The updated surveillance case definition for injury hospitalizations provides standardized selection criteria for monitoring differences in hospitalization rates among populations and over time.
