4. Why is ICD-9 Being Replaced?
ICD-9-CM is out of date and running out of space
for new codes.
Lacks specificity and detail
No longer reflects current medical practice
ICD-10 is the international standard to report and monitor diseases
and mortality, making it important for the U.S. to adopt ICD-10 based
classifications for reporting and surveillance.
