It isn't clear to me the role that OSHCA can/should play in the standards world. It might be useful for the community to agree on things that everyone will support, but that alone doesn't make it a standard. Standards my be dictated by national entities or other bodies outside the control of

This is the ideal. But if the differences between the two are substantial, it could be a lot of work. IDC-9 was never made for electronic medical records - just paper. I am not sure if ICD-10 is, but it is more likely to be electronically usable. ICD-10-PCS on the other hand was made

I agree with Heitzso. ICD-10 suffers from 'usability' issues. Yet unlike the better systems (ie, SNOMED) it is freely accessible. Perhaps OSHCA can make a statement making ICD-10 the 'least common denominator' together with the caveats and recommendations as cited by Heitzso? --- Heitzso
