Improved ease and accuracy of coding requiring less user training
than ever before, together with the availability of online and offline
functioning. ICD–11 is digital health ready, for use in multiple IT-
environments, with a new API.
ICD-11 improves the clarity of terms for the general public and
facilitates the coding of important details such as the spread of a
cancer or the exact site and type of a fracture. The new version also
includes updated diagnostic recommendations for mental health
conditions and digital documentation of COVID-19 certificates. ICD-
11 is also more capable of capturing data on health-care safety, thus
identifying and reducing unnecessary events that may harm health
such as unsafe workflows in hospitals.
CD-11 is entirely digital with a new user-friendly format and
multilingual capabilities that reduce the chance of error. It has been
compiled and updated with input from over 90 countries and
unprecedented involvement of health-care providers, enabling
evolution from a system imposed on clinicians into a truly enabling
clinical classification and terminology database that serves a broad
range of uses for recording and reporting statistics on health.
