June 18, 2018, marked the release of ICD-11 by the World Health Organization, the first fully electronic revision of the International Classification of Diseases.

Designed for a more digital healthcare world, ICD-11 aims to improve how health conditions are classified, reported, and analyzed globally.

Important note for U.S. coders: ICD-11 has not been implemented in the United States for coding and reporting. We’re still using ICD-10-CM/PCS, so no need to panic.
