The Implementation of New Morbidity Classifications in Canada

Abstract:
Canada is in the midst of a staggered implementation of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Canada (ICD-10-CA) and the Canadian Classification of Health Interventions (CCI). These classifications are more comprehensive than historical standards and their capacity extends beyond the scope of their predecessor classifications. Canada is the first country to produce the new classifications in a database, with the final product in an infobase format. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) was responsible for the enhancement of ICD-10-CA, the development of CCI, the education of coders, and the provision of post-implementation support.
