ICD-11 Implementation or Transition Guide v1.05

This guide is a part of the ICD-11 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 11th revision) implementation package developed by the World Health Organization. The guide supports decisionmakers in planning the implementation of, or transition to, the new ICD-11 in their jurisdictions. Because of the big differences and varying complexities in local settings, and between area to area, this guide can provide only an overview of transition and implementation. The document has 2 parts: Part 1 provides an overview and background to the 11th revision; Part 2 is concerned with transitional activities.

Main sections:

· ICD-11 in a nutshell

· General background to ICD

· Introduction to ICD

· Part 1 Why ICD-11?

· Part 2 Moving towards ICD-11
