Discussion
- I would like to comment that putting AIDS diagnostic code in the category of infection is inappropriate. I had difficulty finding it as I was looking under immunological problems in "other medical" which would be the expected place to find this. It is almost as bad as putting mastectomy under GI/GU OR which is where it is. Would anyone think to find it there?? I think our codes should be reorganized under their appropriate category. I even made a list of these inappropriately categorized codes about a year ago. Would it be too difficult to do this??--LKolesar 09:46, 14 January 2010 (CST)
- We are working on moving toward ICD10 with our diagnoses altogether, and that system implies an internationally accepted categorization. I don't know if there is much sense spending energy on re-categorizing dxs at this time. Also, you guys have a good knowledge of idiosyncrasies of our system at this time; even if a new categorization were arguably better, you'd still have to learn it.
