This manual is intended to be used as a basic instruction tool. It will help promote an understanding of diseases and operations described in casenotes by providing information on body systems, how they work together, and the terminology used to describe them. The intended result is that those responsible for clinical coding will be better able to translate these concepts into the appropriate clinical codes. This instruction manual explains and illustrates the body system by system. To assist the reader in understanding individual systems, each chapter is provided with full colour diagrams, exercises and a glossary of relevant terms.

This title gives specific instruction on the use of the ICD-10 classification for morbidity coding in areas of potential ambiguity to safeguard data consistency through national clinical coding standards. The National Clinical Coding Standards ICD-10 are for use with the World Health Organisation (WHO) International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision 5th Edition (ICD-10) when translating diagnoses and other health related problems recorded in a patient's medical record for morbidity coding. The classification of diagnoses using ICD-10 is a mandatory national requirement for the NHS Admitted Patient Care (APC) Commissioning Data Set. Where a standard within the WHO ICD-10 Volume 2 differs to a national clinical coding standard, the national clinical coding standard must take precedence.
