ICD10-to-ABEM Chooser-ICD-10 to ABEM Mapping

Example

For the ICD-10 code E11 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus), the tool maps this code to the ABEM Level 2 category 'Endocrine, Nutritional, and Metabolic Diseases.'

Scenario

In a hospital setting, where a patient is admitted with Type 2 diabetes complications, healthcare providers can use this mapping for accurate categorization in their reports, ensuring consistency in emergency department records.

Example

When presented with an ICD-10 code like T07 (Unspecified multiple injuries), which does not map directly to a single ABEM category, the tool identifies 'Trauma' as the most appropriate Level 2 category, considering the nature of injuries.

Scenario

In cases of multi-trauma patients, this function helps in categorizing the patient's condition under emergency medicine's trauma section, facilitating targeted treatment strategies and educational focus.

Example

If an ICD-10 code does not have a straightforward mapping to existing ABEM categories, the tool can signal a gap by marking it with an 'X', indicating the need for potential category addition or modification.

Scenario

This function is crucial for research purposes, highlighting areas where ABEM categories may need expansion to accommodate new or rare conditions not covered by current mappings.
