ICD-9 outdated and obsolete due to insufficient details.

More specific codes needed as healthcare has expanded through different delivery systems.

ICD-10 provides greater specificity and thought to be an improvement.

Concerns for cost of implementation and the availability of resources/training to learn new coding. Need more training and coding tools.

Clinically accurate, limited number of codes and restrictive structure.

More accurate clinical data and specificity for data and tracking.

General Equivalence Mappings to convert data from ICD-9-CM to IDC-10-CM which can perform both forwards and backwards mapping.

Alphanumeric coding scheme increased size of coding frame.
