Fenton SH, Giannangelo KL, Stanfill MH. Preliminary study of patient safety and quality use cases for ICD-11 MMS. J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2021;28(11):2346-2353. doi:10.1093/jamia/ocab163.
The World Health Organization (WHO) released the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11) in 2018. In addition to the medical entities such as disease and injury, it contains a second component, the ICD-11 Mortality and Morbidity Statistics (MMS) linearization. The authors evaluated whether the ICD-11 MMS is appropriate for use in patient safety and quality or if a USA-specific clinical modification is necessary.
