Transitioning health data systems from International Classification of Diseases 10 to Classification 11 in Lebanon

Key Points

Enhanced cause of death coding is possible with ICD-11 adoption at the central level, depending on data availability.
Moving to ICD-11 can improve coding quality, but requires experienced coders for proper implementation.
Data quality remains a crucial factor for successful transition from ICD-10 to ICD-11 coding.
Continual monitoring and evaluation by skilled personnel is essential for ensuring effective coding outcomes.

Abstract

Our findings show that moving from ICD-10 to ICD-11 at the central level can be useful in enhancing the quality of cause of death coding if there is enough data at the central level and if properly monitored by an experienced coder.
