Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Update: A Taxonomy of Injuries for Public Health Monitoring and Reporting, Public Health Information Paper (PHIP) No.12-01-0717

Abstract

This document describes the FY 2023 Update to the APHCs Taxonomy of Injuries (References a-e) and non-injury categorizations used in APHC public health reports. The Taxonomy of Injuries provides categories for injury medical encounters based on causal energy sources (e.g., mechanical, environmental, poisonings, etc.). The injury definition consists of over 13,000specific medical diagnostic codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD10-CM). The other non-injury ICD-CM-10 medical conditions are also categorized for medical utilization reporting (Reference f). Public Health Information Paper (PHIP) No. 12-01-0717: A Taxonomy of Injuries for Public Health Monitoring and Reporting (with Addendum 1, Body Regions and Injury Types, and Addendum 2, FY 2018 Update). Each year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updates the ICD-10-CM codes. For transparency, the APHC has annually documented the associated changes to the APHC classification categories and any associated methodology updates (References b-e). The FY23 CDC ICD-10-CM update included a total of 1,522 code changes: 1,240 new codes, 31 revised codes, and 251 deactivated codes. There were 40 new injury diagnosis codes. The updated codes are presented in attached Tables. Unlike prior years, the CDCs FY23 code updates are not substantial and align with prior APHC categories; all codes aligned with or replaced prior codes established in previous reports. The complete updated APHC ICD-10-CM and Taxonomy of Injuries spreadsheet is available at request from: usarmy.apg.medcom-aphc.mbx.injuryprevention@health.mil
