In May, we expect to see the release of the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Edition, for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics (ICD-11-MMS) by the World Health Organization. Work will then begin in the U.S. to adapt it for our clinical use as ICD-11-CM. Hopefully, with the benefit of foresight and lessons learned from the past, we will not reenact the pain we all had with the ICD-10-CM/PCS implementation.
