The clinical code table contains the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM), the Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI) codes and 24 fields for each code.

 

The clinical code table does not contain ICD-10-AM/ACHI guidelines and/or conventions (eg, Excludes or Includes notes) or any other text related to the code apart from the official full text descriptor.

 

All fields in the clinical code table are listed by their actual column name and description. Note that there has been no change to the structure of the table, the actual naming of the fields, or the intended meaning of the field attributes.
