A new coding system for intensive care unit (ICU) procedures was evaluated in Nordic countries. The proposed classification was well-received by most ICUs, suggesting potential for national adoption.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Classification Systems

Background:

  • No standardized coding system exists for intensive care unit (ICU) procedures.
  • A new classification system developed at the University Hospital of Bergen was piloted in four Nordic countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a new classification coding system for ICU procedures.
  • To assess the feasibility and reception of a standardized coding system in Nordic ICUs.

Main Methods:

  • A classification system with seven main groups (A-G) and numerical subclassifications was developed.
  • A questionnaire was distributed to 171 ICUs across Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway to gather feedback.

Main Results:

  • A 90% response rate was achieved, with 82.2% of ICUs registering some or most procedures.
  • 38% of ICUs lacked a coding system, and 24% used internal systems; the new system received a mean rating of 7.5/10.
  • Most ICUs indicated willingness to adopt the system if implemented nationally.

Conclusions:

  • Nordic ICUs perform procedure registration, but methods vary significantly, often using non-standardized systems.
  • The evaluated classification system for ICU procedures demonstrated positive reception and potential for widespread adoption.
