Injuries are operationalized with over 12,000 specific medical diagnostic codes (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM)). Each year the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updates the ICD-10-CM codes, this Update documents the new Army FY2020 injury codes and describes slight modifications to the 16 diagnoses categories (e.g., injuries, mental/behavioral health, cancer, etc.) that APHC uses to show the annual burden distribution of all Active Duty soldiers medical encounters.
