<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Short description|Use of schemes of standardized codes}}<br /> A &#039;&#039;&#039;medical classification&#039;&#039;&#039; is used to transform descriptions of medical [[medical diagnosis|diagnoses]] or [[medical procedure|procedures]] into standardized statistical code in a process known as [[Clinical coder|clinical coding]]. Diagnosis classifications list [[diagnosis code]]s, which are used to track [[disease]]s and other health conditions, inclusive of chronic diseases such as [[diabetes mellitus]] and [[heart disease]], and infectious diseases such as [[norovirus]], the [[flu]], and [[athlete&#039;s foot]]. Procedure classifications list [[procedure code]], which are used to capture interventional data. These diagnosis and procedure codes are used by health care providers, government health programs, private health insurance companies, workers&#039; compensation carriers, software developers, and others for a variety of applications in [[medicine]], [[public health]] and [[medical informatics]], including:<br /> * statistical analysis of diseases and therapeutic actions<br /> * reimbursement (e.g., to process claims in [[medical billing]] based on [[diagnosis-related group]]s)<br /> * knowledge-based and [[decision support system]]s<br /> * direct surveillance of epidemic or pandemic outbreaks</div>
