The ICD-10 (acronym for the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition) determines the classification and coding of diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances and external causes of damage and/or illness. Visit the official page for more information.

World Health Organization is the organization responsible for reviewing and updating the terminology. Our SaaS ORBITS contains a ICD-10 module.

ICD-10 includes codes for two different areas:

• Diagnostics (ICD-10-CM): Hierarchical structure grouped into chapters, each of which contains clinical conditions of a particular domain.

• Procedures (ICD-10-PCS): Axial structure composed of 7 axes that combined represent a given procedure. Each of the axes provides specific information on the different aspects of the technique performed.
