Bridging the gaps: Advancing clinical informatics, data science, and global health with ICD-11
• ICD-11 is WHO’s first digital-native, ontology-based classification—linking informatics, data science, and health. • Over 180 countries are already on the ICD-11 journey, with 70 in advanced rollout or live-data stages. • ICD-11's API integrates with EHRs, enabling real-time analytics and AI insights. • ICD-11 includes extensive scientific and clinical updates across all chapters. • Postcoordination, extension codes and the foundation terminology provide unmatched detail for clinical coding, financing, and policy. • ICD-11 is available in 14 translations, with 22 underway, making it a global multilingual interoperable health data standard.
