On Tuesday, the World Health Organization released a fact sheet noting that the final version of ICD-11 will be released in 2017, two years later than scheduled, Becker's Hospital Review reports (Gregg, Becker's Hospital Review, 2/5).

U.S. health care organizations are working to transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 code sets to accommodate codes for new diseases and procedures. The switch from ICD-9 to ICD-10 code sets means that health care providers and insurers will have to change out about 14,000 codes for about 69,000 codes.
