The ICD-10 Coding System was developed to offer terminology and code names that would be compatible with standard clinical practice. The original ICD-9-CM coding system had 13,000 codes; however, more information regarding the caliber of care can be provided using one of the over 68,000 newer ICD-10 codes. A greater level of detailed information can be conveyed using this coding system, which can be utilized to better explain problems and monitor treatment results.
