The ICD-11 standard stands for the 11th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is an internationally recognized system for classifying and coding diseases, injuries, and health conditions.
The ICD-11 standard was introduced in 2018, replacing the previous ICD-10 standard. The new standard includes several important changes compared to its predecessor, including simplified codes, improved coverage of diseases of the nervous system and mental health, and better integration with traditional medical systems.
The ICD-11 standard is used worldwide by healthcare institutions, government agencies, and insurance companies to collect, analyze, and report disease data. It is also an important tool for research and epidemiology, as it allows trends in disease burden and distribution to be tracked over time.
