Non-standard ICD10 Diagnoses
See also: Non-standard CCI Procedures
The following non-standard ICD10 Diagnoses we customized/added have been added to encode specific diagnostic details that ICD10 doesn't account for. Pages would generally be added to this page using Template:ICD10 nonstandard code.
ICD10 CA specific Codes
These are codes that follow the Canadian CIHI listing and are different from the WHO listing.
ICD10 CM specific Codes
These are codes that follow the American ICD10 CM listing and are different from the WHO listing.
Codes our program added
Our choice of codes
As per [1]:
- U00-U49 - Provisional codes for temp orary assignment by World Health Organization of new diseases of uncertain etiology
- U50-U99 - Provisional codes for research and temporary assignment in Canada
We are going to stick out extra codes into the WHO range, anticipating that it is more likely that we would want to adopt all-Canada temp codes than WHO temp codes.
List of our Custom Codes
Total List of codes in the contingency range
These should all be already addressed above, think of this as a contingency check in case we forgot to specifically address one.
Effect on other systems that use ranges of codes in definitions
APACHE Acute Dxs in ICD10 codes, APACHE Comorbidities in ICD10 codes, Charlson Comorbidities in ICD10 codes and ICD10 blocks rely on ranges of codes. Some of the diagnoses listed above might be coded instead of other diagnoses that would have been in the relevant ranges, and therefore prevent inclusion in one of these schemes. Here are our considerations of them.
