Injuries are operationalized with over 13,000 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 FY22 update documents the changes to the APHC injury codes and incidence methodology based on both the CDCs annual update and a review with the Force Safety and Occupational Health (FSOH) Office of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (OUSD (P and R)). The FSOH office is responsible for the Department of Defense Force Risk Reduction (FR2) system that provides injury metrics to Services safety community.
