NordDRG ICD+ and NCSP+ platforms
Basic Classification
Nordic Casemix Centre maintains NCSP+ and ICD+ systems that link the national versions of the classifications that are used with NordDRG.
NordDRG is maintained through the NCSP+ and ICD+ codes and the links in the systems define the properties that are given to the national codes.
NordDRG ICD+ Platform
The Nordic Casemix Centre maintains the ICD+ versions that links the national versions of ICD-10 that are used with NordDRG. The NordDRG is maintained through the ICD+ codes and the links in the ICD+ system define the properties that are given to the national codes.
ICD+ includes the history of the national ICD-10 versions to the extent they are available.
Versions 2018 and 2017 can be found from files below:
Content of ICD+ Table
ICD+ includes the clinical modifications of ICD-10 for the NordDRG countries Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Norway and Sweden and the WHO basic version.
Code Structure
The ICD+ code that links together the national clinical modifications has 6 characters and no decimal sign. The few ICF related codes included in the NordDRG system have +-sign as the first character and the ATC-codes used in some NordDRG applications have _-sign as the first character.
History of Code Sets
The table includes old codes that are no longer in use in any country. These old codes are mapped to existing codes. The system makes it possible to use old data in new groupers.
NordDRG NCSP+ Platform
Nordic Casemix Centre maintains the NCSP+ versions that combines all national versions of NCSP.
The mappings in the NCSP+ define the properties that are given to the national codes
NCSP+ includes the history of the NCSP versions. The table is filtered by default to current version of the codes. The table is published in Excel.
NCSP+ 2018 and 2017 can be found from links below:
Earlier versions are available on demand.
NordDRG ICD+ and NCSP+ Platform
Starting from 2021, Nordic Casemix Centre maintains the NCPS+ and ICD+ versions in a common platform integrated into NDMS (NordDRG Maintenance System).
The maintenance system allows to export ICD+ and NCSP+ versions in one file which has four different tables:
- dg – includes all national codes by countries and mapping to ICD+ code
- dg_plus – includes all ICD+ codes and information about countries using the codes
- proc – includes all national codes by countries and mapping to NCSP+ code
- proc_plus – includes all NCSP+ codes and information about countries using the codes.
ICD+ and NCPS+ are updates annually.
