ICD-11 is on track to arrive here in the U.S. sooner than most expected – 2022. In fact, global experts convened in Switzerland to create a roadmap to advance the digital health ecosystem.
For the very latest update on ICD-11, the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) Robert Jakob, MD, team leader of classifications and terminologies (ICD, ICF, ICHI), is today's Talk Ten Tuesdays special guest. Also joining the broadcast is Margaret Skurka, who has just returned from the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC) meeting in Banff, Calgary, Canada, and discusses the latest on ICD-11 from both the U.S. perspective and a global perspective.
Skurka is past president of the International Federation of Health Information Management Associations, IFHIMA, and serves as the current IFHIMA/AHIMA representative to the WHO Family of International Classifications Education and Implementation Committee. That committee does work on ICD-11, as well as on improving the quality of coded data internationally, while recognizing coders around the world.
