Glossary Definition
Last Updated: 2015-01-21
Definition:
As data support files, the ICD Conversion Files provide a crosswalk for matching ICD-10-CA diagnosis codes and Canadian Classification of Health Interventions (CCI) codes with corresponding ICD-9-CM codes. These files are useful for studies covering a time period prior to and after the date when the version of ICD coding changed in the
Vital Statistics Mortality Registry data
and the
Hospital Abstracts data.
For more detailed information on the ICD Conversion Files, see:
