SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Name: National Committee on Vital
and Health Statistics (NCVHS).
Meeting of the Workgroup on Timely
and Strategic Action to Inform ICD–11
Policy.
The National Committee on Vital and
Health Statistics was established by
Congress to serve as the statutory [42
U.S.C. 242k(k)] advisory body to the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
DATES:

for health data, statistics, privacy and
national health information policy and
the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA).1 In that
capacity, the Committee provides advice
and assistance to the Department and
serves as a forum for interaction with
interested private sector groups on
health data issues. It fulfills important
review and advisory functions regarding
health data and administrative
standards of national and international
scope, conducts studies of prevailing
current topics, and makes
recommendations for improvement of
the Nation’s health statistics and
information systems.
Purpose: The purpose of the
International Classification of Diseases
(ICD–11) expert roundtable meeting is to
gather information and identify gaps in
currently available information and
research essential for analysis and
policy decisions on the U.S. approach to
support adoption and implementation
of ICD–11 for morbidity. A
supplemental goal is to enable
coordination of public and private
entities that may affect ICD–11
integration into U.S. health information
environments by obtaining broad
stakeholder input on studies or
assessments HHS should undertake to
inform the transition and on what
timeline. Together with comments
received in response to the RFI, the
input received at the roundtable will
inform the Workgroup’s findings to be
provided to the full Committee in

contemplation of recommendations to
the Secretary of HHS. The agenda for
the meeting will include time for public
comment. Meeting times and topics are
subject to change.
Background on ICD–11: The
International Classification of Diseases
(ICD) is the global standard for health
data, clinical documentation, and
statistical aggregation. It provides a
common language for recording,
reporting, and monitoring diseases,
allowing the world to compare and
share data in a consistent and standard
way—among hospitals, regions, and
countries, and over periods of time. It
facilitates the collection and storage of
data for analysis and evidence-based
decision-making by enabling systematic
recording, reporting, analysis,
interpretation, and comparison of
mortality and morbidity data.
ICD–11 allows countries to count and
identify their most pressing health
issues using an up-to-date and clinically
relevant classification system.2 3 4
Governments assign ICD–11 codes to
health conditions and accidents so data
can be used to design effective public
health policies and measure their
impacts, or so that clinicians can use the
data for recording encounters with
patients in a standard way.
Request for Information: This Notice
also serves as a Request for Information
(RFI) addressing the potential use of
ICD–11 for morbidity coding in the U.S.
We welcome responses from industry
stakeholders, interested individuals and
organizations, or any members of the
public in advance of the August 3, 2023,
expert roundtable meeting. The
following questions are a guide to
information the Workgroup would find
particularly helpful, but respondents are
invited to comment on any aspect of
ICD–11 that they wish.
1. What would be the benefits of
implementing ICD–11 for morbidity in
your setting or organization?
2. What information or research will
your organization need in order to
inform assessments of cost, benefits,
implementation approaches,
communications, and outreach
regarding the transition to ICD–11?
2 ICD–11 was adopted at the World Health
Assembly in May 2019 and Member States
committed to start using it for mortality and
morbidity reporting in 2022. Since 2019, early
adopter countries, translators, and scientific groups
have recommended further refinements to produce
the version that is posted online today. World

Respondents may choose to refer to
NCVHS’ most recent recommendations
to HHS for proposed research questions,
many of which HHS has not yet
addressed.5
3. What considerations affect the
impact of ICD–11 on clinical
documentation, payment processes
including risk adjustment, public
health, population health, or research?
4. What unique U.S. coding or
terminology considerations are
essential? For example, coding or
terminology related to community
health, social determinants of health,
essential human needs, sexual
orientation, gender identity and
expression, obesity, external cause of
injury, and information about mental,
behavioral, or neurodevelopmental
disorders including alignment with the
Diagnostic And Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM–
5)?
5. How should HHS implement ICD–
11 in the U.S. for morbidity coding?
6. The World Health Organization
(WHO) recommends establishing a
national center for ICD–11
implementation. What entity should be
responsible for coordinating overall
national implementation of ICD–11 for
morbidity coding, and how should the
implementation be managed?
7. ICD–11 uses an open process in
which WHO encourages requests for
updates and changes, thus eliminating
the main drivers of national clinical
modifications. What entity should be
responsible for coordinating U.S.
requests for updates or changes to ICD–
11? How should this process be
managed?
8. What resources, tools, or support
will your organization need for
implementation?
9. What kinds of technical resources,
guidance, or tools should the U.S.
Federal Government make available?
10. What workforce, workforce
planning, or training will your
organization need to support
implementation?
11. What are your organization’s
requirements for ICD–11 mapping to
other coding systems and terminologies,
including value sets?
12. What other operational impacts of
ICD–11 adoption and implementation
should HHS consider?
The Committee will compile
submitted responses in advance of the
August 3, 2023, meeting and consider
