Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): International Classification of Diseases

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a standardized system for classifying and coding diseases, disorders, and other health-related conditions. It is used worldwide by healthcare providers and organizations to accurately diagnose, treat, and report on various health conditions.

ICD is maintained and published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is currently in its 11th revision (ICD-11). The ICD codes are used to classify diseases and other health conditions, and provide a common language for healthcare providers and organizations to communicate about these conditions.

ICD codes are used to classify and report diagnoses, causes of death, and other health information used for administrative, financial and analytical purposes. They are used to track and monitor the incidence and prevalence of diseases, to evaluate the effectiveness of health programs, and to inform public health policies.

ICD codes are also used to determine reimbursement for healthcare services and the allocation of healthcare resources. They help to ensure that healthcare providers and organizations are reimbursed for the services they provide, and that resources are allocated to areas where they are needed most.

Overall, the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is an important tool in healthcare system to help healthcare providers, organizations, and researchers to communicate, understand, and improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and populations.
