Clinical Classification
Clinical Classifications group individual ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes into broader, clinically meaningful categories. These categories help simplify complex data by organizing related conditions under common clinical themes.
They are especially useful for data analysis, reporting, and clinical decision-making. Even when diagnosis codes differ, similar conditions can be grouped together based on their clinical relevance. Each category is assigned a unique CCSR code that represents a specific clinical concept, often tied to a body system or medical specialty.
External cause codes: fire/burn; initial encounter
CCSR Code: EXT004
Inpatient Default: X - Not applicable.
Outpatient Default: X - Not applicable.
External cause codes: intent of injury, accidental/unintentional
