Section 1: About the Manual of Procedures
A. Purpose of the Manual
This Manual of Procedures (MOP) was developed to provide guidance to the pilot sites -
identified Rural Health Units (RHU) on the pilot implementation for RHUs of the International
Classification of Diseases - 11th Revision (ICD-11) in the Philippines.
The intended readers of this document are the concerned staff of RHUs identified as pilot
sites, ICD-11 Technical Working Group members, ICD-11 Trained Trainers and Focal persons
from Centers for Health Development (CHDs) and other partner agencies.
B. Content Overview
This document has three (3) major sections:
a. Section 1 (this section) - explains the purpose and the how to use this manual
b. Section 2 - provides an overview of the pilot implementation including the different
phases from planning to analysis and report generation
c. Section 3 - presents the general and specific rules and guidelines on ICD-11 coding
and its IT component

Section 2: ICD-11 Pilot Implementation
A. Overview of the Pilot Implementation
A.1 Objectives
As part of the Philippines’ transition from ICD-10 to ICD-11, the pilot implementation will be
conducted to identify challenges that need to be addressed for the development of the
policies/guidelines for the complete transition and full implementation.
The pilot implementation will be from April 1-15, 2023 and will cover ALL cases (morbidity)
from the pilot sites for the period April 1-15, 2023.
The ICD-11 TWG shall act as the core team responsible for careful planning and execution
of this pilot implementation. Specific roles and responsibilities of stakeholders are provided
in Annex A.

Section 3: General Guidelines
A. ICD-11 API Interoperability
● ICD-11 integration in information systems shall follow the WHO guidelines
(https://icd.who.int/en).
● For the purpose of the pilot implementation, ICD-11 is embedded in iClinicSys, one
of the major information systems developed by the DOH that is being implemented
in selected Rural Health Unit (RHU) 00000000000 Health Units.
● Updated diagnosis screen for parallel or dual coding of ICD-10 and ICD-11 (One
field for ICD-10 and another field for ICD-11)
● The data entry form in the ICD-11 based EMR system includes:
a. a command field which activates the smart search with the ICD-11
coding tool;
b. one data field which records the ICD-11 code(s) and another data field
which documents the the ICD-11 code title as rendered and selected by
the user in the ICD-11 coding tool;
c. a mechanism which stores the respective ICD-11 URI of the selected
ICD11 entity in the backend.
● In the iClinicSys, the ICD-11 related data fields (e.g. data entry fields to indicate
Main and Other Conditions) shall be linked to the ICD-11 embedded coding tool.
6
● Methods of implementation:
Generally, the coding guidelines provided in the ICD-11 Reference Guide shall be followed for
ICD-11 coding.

B.1 General Coding Guidelines
1. The main condition and other condition(s) relevant to an episode of health care should
have been identified and recorded by the responsible health care practitioner.
2. Review/analyze the documented diagnosis for coding.
3. Code as precise as possible based on available documentation and information.
4. Follow applicable coding conventions and notes.
5. For potentially erroneous documentation, coder must first seek clarification from the
Attending Physician and/or check additional information/documentation available. If these
will not be possible, review record if any indication helps to identify the diagnosed
condition and if record does not help, appropriate Morbidity Modification Rule must be
applied to select/reselect the main condition to be assigned as the primary code, and
6. Always start coding with the ICD-11 coding tool.
7. For injury cases, both the injury and external cause must be recorded and coded with
the nature of injury as the main condition.
8. For delivery cases, outcome of delivery must be coded in addition to the codes for the
details on delivery (indication/complication,method) on the mother’s record.
9. Outcome of delivery code as to place should only be used in coding the baby’s record.
10. For health care related cases, the following three-part quality and safety codes must be
used:
Note: The three-part model for quality and safety would NOT apply if there is NO
explicit documentation asserting a causal link to another aspect of care,
whether it is a drug, procedure, device or other aspect of care. In such cases,
the medical condition should be coded and postcoordinated with an extension
code for diagnosis timing (ie. XY7V-Postoperative or XY69-Developed after
admission)
9
a. Only stem codes can be used alone
b. Extension codes are never used alone for disease coding
c. Use “/” as connector of a stem code and another stem code
5. Extension Codes
For entities with no suggested postcoordination (mandatory or not), but with additional
details that need to be postcoordinated, postcoordination can be done manually. Stem
and extension codes may be manually postcoordinated as appropriate. For extension
codes, the following extension codes provided in Table 2 below may be used. (Example
for Dehydration, Pneumonia, COVID 19, Tetanus, etc).
· XK9J Bilateral
1. Laterality · XK8G Left
· XK9K Right
· XK70 Unilateral, unspecified
*No extension code for unspecified
laterality
10
Aspect Extension Code
For ICD-11 coding purposes, the age groupings in Table 3 shall be considered.
Late Neonatal from the eighth through the 28th day of life
Middle Childhood from the start of the 5th year of life through
the end of the 10th
Early Adolescence from the start of the 11th year of life through
the end of the 14th
Middle Adolescence from the start of the 15th year of life through
the end of the 17th
Late Adolescence from the start of the 18th year of life through
the end of the 19th
11
Group Age Range
Young Adult from the start of the 20th year of life through
the end of the 24th
Early Geriatric from the start of the 65th year of life through
the end of the 84th year
Late Geriatric from the start of the 85th year through the
end of life
Review record if any indication helps to identify the main condition, if none then the
following guidelines shall be followed:
If there is a precoordinated code combining the conditions before and after the
term “due to” then the precoordinated code will be considered for the main
condition code, otherwise, the condition before the term “due to” will be the main
condition.
* except for Sepsis which cannot be considered as main condition if the causing
condition is documented
* a symptom due to a condition must follow the Morbidity Coding Rules MB2 or
MB3 on symptoms for the selection of the main condition
b. “With”, “associated with” and other synonymous terms indicating association, but
not causal relationship
12
If there is a precoordinated code combining the conditions before and after the
term “with” then the precoordinated code will be considered for the main condition
code, otherwise, the condition before the term “with” will be the main condition.
C. Data Collection
C.1 Health Facility
To code the diagnosis using the ICD 11 tools, access the Doctor's Order module
in the patient’s consultation in iClinicSys.
13
C.2 DOH KMITS / DOH-EB
Coded data from the iClinicsys will be extracted weekly (Annex F) for assessment using the
Assessment tool in Annex D. Identified ICD-11 trained trainers will be assigned for the coding
assessment/rating (Annex E).
A tool will be provided in n iClinicSys for the facility to use in extracting the data needed to
be sent to EB focal persons who will transfer the coded data to the assessment tool template.
D. Monitoring/Assessment
Extracted coded data will be transferred to the assessment tool template per facility and will
be shared to the assigned ICD-11 trained trainers via google sheet for their coding
assessment/rating. A viber group of assigned ICD-11 trained trainers will be created to
facilitate coordination and discussion of ratings.
Online meetings will be scheduled to discuss and analyze the coding ratings. Significant
difference in the proportion of correct and incorrect coding will be determined using
appropriate statistical tools.
For the assessment of the coder as user of the ICD-11 coding tool, a brief survey will be
administered at the end of the 3-week coding using the Coder-Experience Survey Form
(Annex G) which will be administered through the google form and analyze using appropriate
statistical tools.
