ICHI Development Goals
1. Evolve a multi-purpose and coherent classification– primary care, clinical care, research, public health…– Consistency & interoperability across different uses
2. Serve as an international and multilingual reference standard for scientific comparability and communication purposes
3. Ensure that ICHI will function in an electronic health records environment.
• Link ICHI logically to underpinning terminologies and
ontologies
Unpacking the Future Classification
1. Ontology Structure
2018
2. Ontology Content
a) CPT…b) ICHI α, β, 2018…
• Ontology (philosophy)NOT meant as the Organization of Reality !!!
• Ontology (computer science) – the explicit – operational description of the
conceptualization of a domain:• Concepts: Entity
Properties Value
• An ontology defines:– a common vocabulary a shared understanding/exchange:
• among software agents ( & people ?) – to reuse data - information– to introduce standards to allow interoperability
What is NOntology?
Knowledge Representationthe triad of things, thoughts and words
(Ogden & Richards, 1923 )
APPLETERM
What is CPT®?
• CPT codes are an organized compilation of standardized descriptions and five character alphanumeric codes that physicians, medical coders and billers use to report healthcare services and procedures to payers for reimbursement
• CPT codes provide a uniform language accurately describing medical, surgical and diagnostic services
• CPT codes serve as an effective means for reliable communications within the U.S. healthcare industry
CPT Brief History
• First published as a 4 digit system in 1966
• Moved to its current 5 digit system in 1977
• Adopted for programs administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 1983
• Named as a Federal U.S. standard procedure code set for electronic transactions for physician services and other healthcare services in August 2000
• Over 8000, surgical, diagnostic and cognitive procedures
The CPT Editorial Panel Process
• Panel Composition: Broad based and comprised of numerous sectorso 11 physicians representing various medical specialtieso 3 physician payer representativeso 1 hospital association physician representative o 2 non-physician healthcare provider representatives
• Non-voting advisory participants from the health information management and professional coding communities also participate
Collaboration Goal and Objectives
Objectives: Working together in the development of a next-generation ICHI code set that can be
linked to other classification systems, such as ICD and ICF, providing a fully integrated international healthcare classification system
Enable cross-border data aggregation and analysis by deploying the next generation ICHI as an augmenting code set for national health systems
Establish AMA as a credible international partner in the WHO-Family of International Classifications
AMA and WHO are planning to collaborate in order to show global leadership in healthcare information innovation through the development and distribution of integrated, ontology-based
terminologies to expand interoperability and analytical applications of clinical data.
Why The Collaboration Between AMA and WHO Makes Sense Today!
WHO and AMA have organizational missions that are closely aligned and focus on the overall betterment of healthcare
WHO Mission
To provide leadership on global health matters, shaping the health research
agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options,
providing technical support to countries and monitoring and assessing health
trends.
AMA Mission
To promote the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public
health through the strategic focus areas of improving health outcomes, accelerating
change in medical education, and increasing professional satisfaction and
practice sustainability
Collaboration Group
– Expert Group ~ 12 members– appointed by AMA and WHO in equal numbers and with joint agreement.
• Richard Madden and Mark Musen will be the co-chairs of the group• 4 management members of current ICHI will be included on the board
– AMA and WHO will appoint one Staff Member each to represent them in the Advisory Group as ex-officio members.
• Bob Musacchio and Bedirhan Ustun
– The group will be advisory to AMA and WHO and will oversee the project work according to the Project Plan appended to this agreement.
Project Plan
• Objectives• Streams of work• Deliverables• Timelines• Budget
Financial Aspects
• AMA will provide the financial resources to WHO in support of the development of the ICHI to cover Project costs:
• For five years– Central project management: WHO Project Staff– Meetings: Expert Group, other work groups – Consultants– Contracts – Development, Field Trials, Reports – Other
ICHI Development Background
1978: WHO International Classification of Procedures in Medicine (ICPM)
1988: ICPM not maintained
Many national classifications developed: US, UK, Australia, Germany, ... Focus on medical/surgical interventions, hospital in-patients Duplication, not comparable
Many countries with no classification
Use of U.S. and Australian classification in other countries
Broad scope for ICHI
ICHI planned to include Medicine, surgery, diagnostics Primary care Allied health and provision of support Mental health Nursing interventions Public health

Structure of ICHI
Finalised in 2010 Multi-dimensional, based on European standard for
classification of surgical interventions: France and Canada had followed this approach
Definition– A health intervention is an activity performed for, with or on behalf
of a person or a population whose purpose is to improve, assess or modify health, functioning or health conditions.
• 5648 interventions across medical and surgical, functioning and other environmental and behaviour areas– 4346 - Interventions on body systems and functions (incl ~ 1790
functioning interventions)– 707 - Interventions on activities and participation domains – 595 - Interventions to improve the environment and health
behaviour
• ncch/sydney.edu.au/health-sciences/ncch/resources.shtml
ICHI Alpha-2 content - interventions
• TARGET n = 633• ACTION n = 131• MEANS n = 59
• New hierarchical grouping of TARGET axis – with subchapters for body parts and for types of activity.
ICHI content - axes
New Target groups provides the tabular list with an additional level of hierarchy.
Extract from the Tabular list illustrating the additional level of hierarchy.
• ICD-9-CM was included in the foundation (original base) for ICHI
• Maps to ICD-9-CM were maintained
• An ICHI subset has been identified that can replace ICD-9-CM
ICD 9 CM Volume 3 and ICHI
Current ICHI Content Model
An Intervention in ICHI is represented by:

Types of Content Model parameters
• WHO-FIC core parameters– Shared among WHO-FIC classifications
• Descriptive/informational parameters– Classification-specific information “about” a category– Not inherited by derivative categories
• Structural parameters– Axes along which a category can be abstracted or specialized
Content models for WHO-FIC classifications should share core parameters
• Definitional parameters– title, definitions, code (if any)
• Terms– Synonyms– Index terms– Inclusions– Exclusions

Exemplars for Validation
Stanford resident modeled ~80 exemplars
ICHI Meeting, Chicago June 2014
• Attended by ICHI Alpha developers and CPT experts• Plenary as well as smaller groups using provisional CM to model
exemplars– Dissected 3 exemplars together– Two groups
• Dissected 2 common procedures• Group 1: One additional procedure• Group 2: Three additional procedures
– Remarkable consistency
Current Status
• 16 parameters derived or reformulated from ICHI Alpha or DTK axes/parameters
• Value sets need to be defined• Top-level interventions/procedures need to be finalized• Prototype Content Model has been encoded in computable
representation language

Implication of our modeling approach to WHO-FIC
• We have created an shared core WHO-FIC content model• We cross reference WHO-FIC classification terms• We are using the same post-coordination paradigm across
WHO-FIC classifications (ICD-11 and ICHI)• We will be experimenting with value sets shared across WHO-
FIC classifications (ICD-11 and ICHI)• We use the same iCAT software infrastructure to support the
development of WHO-FIC classifications

Conclusions
Collaboration Timing
Drivers for Change: Interoperability to Manage Health Outcomes Globally
• The lack of interoperability in the healthcare system is holding back needed innovations in quality of care and cost efficiencies
• Most countries have adopted their own standards for classifying procedural data, making it difficult for cross-border integration and analysis
• In light of the growing global disease burden, especially concentrated in developing nations, WHO has forged partnerships across the globe to combat these challenges, enabling greater data exchange across countries would support greater success of these initiatives
Collaboration Strengths
• In direct support of WHO’s and AMA’s missions• Combines the power of the healthcare and terminology leaders• Benefit from ICHI Alpha development and AMA’s CPT content • Leverages WHO’s international prowess and structured classification experience• Leverages AMA’s editorial and implementation prowess• Delivers significant benefits to global healthcare
What does WHO want ?
• Meaningful exchange of health information– Enable aggregation of health information from different sources
• One stop-shop for different users / developers– In multiple languages
• Crystallization spiral for knowledge representation– formalization conceptualization formalization
• Linkages between different domains of health information• Translational research tool + semantic consistency
ICHI - 2018• A reference classification-ontology set
– provision of semantics to enable users to use data in a consistent manner– provision of possible services for:
• classification • terminology • linkages
• For use cases such as:
– Universal Health Coverage
– Billing & Reimbursement
– Casemix and Resource Allocation
– Quality and Safety monitoring
– Comparative Effectiveness Studies
