Following implementation of the ICD-10 5th Edition on 1 April 2016, a number of errors were discovered in the printed ICD-10 5th Edition volumes published by the World Health Organisation. Some of these errors are replicated in the ICD-10 5th Edition eVersion.

We've produced a set of shared errata notes which can be imported into the eVersion.

There are now codes within ICD-10 5th Edition categories U06 and U07 that have been designated for emergency use. The descriptions of codes within categories U06 and U07 in the ICD-10 eVersion remain as ‘Emergency use of’.

We've produced a set of shared notes for the codes for emergency use which can be imported into the eVersion.

The shared errata notes and the shared notes for the codes for emergency use are available on Delen, along with instructions on how to import them into the eViewer.

Legally restricted patient confidential reference data

The technical preview code list was originally drafted to support a refresh of the ISB 1572 Sensitive Data standards and for no other purpose.

The legal basis for patient identifiable data and sensitive information changed with the introduction of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. However, the legal and policy context and interpretation for sensitive and/or legally restricted data has not been fully established due to the changes in legislation since the original standard was released.

As a result, this supporting code list has remained static since April 2016. NHS Digital will update the codes once an updated policy and instruction is provided by our commissioners.
