Title: CASEMIX CLASSIFICATION ISSUES AND CHANGE FROM ICD-9-CM TO ICD-10-AM CODING
Abstract: Australia is in the throes of changing from ICD-9-CM to the Australian Modification of ICD-10 (ICD-10-AM) for coding of morbidity and interventions in Australian acute care hospitals. The change is of great relevance to countries using casemix groupers based on ICD-9-CM. This paper describes the Australian experience of change from ICD-9-CM to the Australian Modification of ICD-10 (ICD-10-AM) and its influence on the Australian Diagnosis Related Groups. The benefits of the change for currency of coding concepts, and some of our experiences with the use of mapping between the new and old classifications for grouping purposes is also described. The ongoing implementation strategies, future development and research are also briefly discussed.
