the Secretary and reporting to Congress
on adoption of standards under the
Administrative Simplification
provisions of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA).
Through the Subcommittee on
Standards, the Committee conducted a
comprehensive environmental scan of
the state of health terminologies and
vocabularies in the US. The
environmental scan findings are
detailed in the Report, ‘‘Health
Terminologies and Vocabularies
Environmental Scan’’ completed in
September 2018.i The Committee also
hosted an expert roundtable meeting in
July 2018 to review and comment on the
environmental scan and to discuss
current challenges and future adoption
needs and pathways.ii
Based on this work, developing
recommendations to the Secretary
regarding adoption and use of the new
version of the International
Classification of Diseases (ICD–11) in
the US is one of the near-term areas of
obligation identified by the Committee
for focus in 2019. The World Health
Organization (WHO) released ICD–11 in
June 2018 so countries could preview
and begin their planning. In May 2019,
the World Health Assembly voted to
approve adoption of ICD–11 with an
effective date of January 1, 2022. ICD–
11 is intended by the WHO for use for
both mortality (i.e., cause of death)
reporting and morbidity (i.e., diseases)
reporting.
The goal of this expert roundtable
meeting is to identify research questions
to inform evaluation of the benefit and
cost of transition from ICD–10 to ICD–
11 for mortality and morbidity. Specific
meeting objectives include:
• Developing a shared understanding
of lessons from the ICD–10 planning
process/transition and the differences
between ICD–10 and ICD–11.
• Reaching consensus on the research
questions to be answered to inform
evaluation of cost and benefit of
transition from ICD–10 to ICD–11 for
mortality and morbidity—and to
identify impacts of not moving to ICD–
11 for morbidity.
• Identifying key topics and messages
to communicate to the industry to foster
early stakeholder engagement and
preparation for the transition to ICD–11.
