However, ICD has faced many challenges due to dynamic environment of needs. The main purpose of this study was to identify ‎ICD challenges and structure of ICD 11 life cycle through a review study of the published papers. Literature Review: A review study was adopted as the methodology of this paper. Data were collected by search strategy in the following databases: NLM, SCIENCEDIRECT, WHO‏‎, and ICD 11 related sites. Discussion: The findings showed that ICD was used in many countries some of which found ICD an insufficient tool for ‎the level ‎of details needed for clinical and ‎administrative uses. In addition, little consideration was given to adaptability of codes and mapping between the ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes. Therefore, WHO initiated ‎a new dynamic architechture based on ‎semantic web application ‎‏ and employed a four stage workflow ‎‎engine for collecting proposals. This architecture has applied a Semantic Wiki as well as a four stage peer review to provide a three layer ontological structure. ICD11is at the experimental stage and it is predicated that it would have a significant role in the interaction and interoperability of different terminologies leading to the development of Electronic Health Records.
