Abstract

Diagnostic classification may be used as a structure for the naming of health problems and to create an overview in electronic patient records. Classification also facilitates access to health information and decision support, quality improvement and research. The International Classification Primary Care is now included in the WHO's Family of International Classifications and was introduced into Danish general practice in 1998. This system will be updated to ICPC-2-DK in 2009. In secondary health care, the ICD-10 is currently in use but a new system (SNOMED-CT) is underway.
