Offered online over two months, this program is essential for certified coders looking to stay ahead in the ever-evolving medical coding industry. Whether you're certified by AHIMA, AAPC, or PMBAUSA, mastering ICD-11 will position you as a leader in the field, ensuring you are well- prepared for the future of healthcare coding.

Why ICD-11?

ICD-11, the latest revision of the International Classification of Diseases by the World Health Organization (WHO), represents a significant advancement over its predecessor, ICD-10. It is designed to provide a more comprehensive, accurate, and globally relevant coding system that reflects current medical knowledge and practices.

Modernization

ICD-11 includes over 55,000 unique codes compared to ICD-10’s 14,000. This allows for more precise coding of diseases, disorders, and other health conditions.

Digital Integration

ICD-11 is built for the digital age, enabling better integration with electronic health records (EHR) and healthcare data systems.

Global Relevance

ICD-11 is designed to be more applicable across different healthcare systems worldwide, ensuring consistency in coding and reporting.

Improved Usability

The new structure and improved search functions of ICD-11 make it easier for coders to find the correct codes quickly and accurately.

Unique Features of ICD-11

ICD-11 introduces several unique features that set it apart from previous versions:

Post-Coordination

Allows for greater specificity in coding by combining codes to capture more details about a health condition.

Foundation Component

Provides a base layer of data that can be customized to meet the needs of different countries and healthcare systems.

Extension Codes

Enable the coding of additional information, such as severity or the side of the body affected, without altering the primary code.

ICD-11 in America

As the U.S. healthcare system continues to evolve, the adoption of ICD-11 is anticipated to bring significant benefits, particularly in areas of precision medicine, patient outcomes, and health data analytics. While the transition may take time, the shift towards ICD-11 is inevitable, making it crucial for coding professionals to begin their training now.

Why AHIMA, AAPC, and PMBAUSA Certified Coders Should Learn ICD-11
