Summary
Australia is evaluating the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11) for health, disability, and aged care systems. A business case will inform a national decision on its implementation by late 2026.
Area of Science:
- Health informatics
- Public health classification systems
Background:
- The International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11) is developed as a foundational health classification.
- It aims to provide a basis for consistent statistics and data analytics across health, disability, and aged care sectors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To inform a national decision on the scope of ICD-11 implementation in Australia.
- To gather information on the potential benefits of using ICD-11 within the Australian context.
Main Methods:
- The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) is preparing a business case.
- Information is being gathered on the potential benefits of ICD-11 for Australia.
Main Results:
- A business case is planned for presentation to governments in late 2026.
- The decision on ICD-11 scope will be based on gathered information regarding its benefits.
Conclusions:
- Australia is actively assessing the adoption of ICD-11.
- A national decision regarding the implementation scope is anticipated following the business case presentation.

01:20Integrated Healthcare System
An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
01:17Classification of Illness
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.

01:21Tertiary Healthcare System
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care to...
01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
01:26Traditional Level Of Health Care System
The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...
