【 摘 要 】

Although the terms International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and big data are relatively new, the goal has been the same for decades: to leverage information collected through the routine operation of the health system to better understand predictors of clinical outcomes, implement data-driven strategies to improve outcomes,¹ and evaluate the changing impact of these strategies as the milieu of health care evolves.² Although new analytic methods have been developed, and computing power has grown exponentially, the fundamental substrate for these analyses is organized data, of which ICD-10 coding remains a key component.
