[Additional coding for legally required ICD-9 as the basis for high quality patient record searches].
We are convinced, that the updating of the ID DIACOS diagnosis catalogue fits better to the today's medical language, than the former one. By using a consequent additional code we could eliminate several lacks of the ICD-9. Valid and reproducible diagnosis statistics are now possible. Subjective coding mistakes are largely avoidable. Inquiries of certain diagnosis can be answered by using the one of the two codes, that describes the diagnosis in the best form. Regarding the allotments of the best form. Regarding the allotments of the catalogue of orthopedic and traumatic diagnosis including the possibility of double-coding we got a special better version of ID DIACOS than before.
