This describes the problem. Diagnosis/Problem List is broadly defined as a series of brief statements that catalog a patient's medical, nursing, dental, social, preventative and psychiatric events and issues that are relevant to that patient's healthcare (e.g., signs, symptoms, and defined conditions). ICD-10 is appropriate for Diagnosis information, and ICD-9 for historical information.

Changes since version 7.0.0:

  • The logical definition of the value set has changed

    • HL7 Terminology (THO) defines the ICD9CM code system's FHIR URL, http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/icd9cm, but the codes are are not represented in the CodeSystem and therefore will not display here. Downloadable files of diagnosis and procedure codes and their full and abbreviated titles are available at

    Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

    Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
    System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
    Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
    Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
    Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
    Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
