Abstract
Introduction: The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems has been created for various purposes by the World Health Organization which annually modifies it for a better classification of diseases and achievement of intended objectives. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the knowledge of coders in educational hospitals about the changes made in the10th version of the classification system.
Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was conducted in 2018. The research population included coders in educational hospitals situated in south east of Iran. The population of the study consisted of 83 people selected through convenience sampling method and Morgan table. Data were gathered through an electronic questionnaire the link of which was sent to the participants. The data were analyzed in SPSS22 software using Pearson and ANOVA tests.
Results: The participants had a very low knowledge of the changes in ICD-10 (27.36 ± 15). There was a significant relationship between the knowledge of the participants and their education, and working experience as coders (P = .001)
Conclusion: The findiongs indicated the coders’ low awareness of the changes in ICD-10; therefore, it is necessary to hold essential training workshops and create Persian sites to help them get familiar with the changes.
