 * Term: ** __International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10)__

Used to classify diseases and other health related issues recorded from health records, death certificates and other important records, the ICD is the standard diagnostic classification for all clinical use. The ICD provides codes to classify diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances and external causes of injury or disease. Every health condition can be assigned to a unique category and given a code, up to six characters long. Such categories can include a set of similar diseases. The first draft of ICD-11 is expected around 2010 with official publication estimated around 2014. Also, the World Health Organization has announced that it intends to use Web 2.0 principles for ICD-11.
 * Description:** The original classification dates back to the 1850s and ICD-10 is the latest in the series. Taken over in the mid 1900s by the World Health Organization (WHO) around the sixth edition, the ICD for the first time included causes for morbidity statistics. By the time the seventh edition was released, the ICD had been adapted to accommodate Hospital Record Indexing. Work on ICD-10 began in 1983 and was finished in 1992.
