Injury Surveillance On-Line

Implementation of ICD-10(-CA)

Mortality data from Statistics Canada has been classified using ICD-10 beginning in calendar year 2000.

Hospitalization data provided by the Canadian Institute for Health Information were first classified using ICD-10-CA in fiscal year 2001-02. The dates of ICD-10-CA implementation by the provinces and territories are listed in the table following this paragraph. Injury Surveillance on Line does not yet use the extra detail available in ICD-10-CA.

Year	Provinces/territories implementing ICD-10 for hospitalization data
2001-02	NL, PEI, NS, SK (partial), BC, YK
2002-03	ON, SK (remainder), AB, NT, NU
2003-04	NB
2004-05	MB
2006-07	QC (expected)

The ICD code groupings used in Injury Surveillance on Line presentation of injury data may be found in the ICD-9 to ICD-10 Transition Matrix.
The table presents three different sets of code groupings.

Old ICD-9
ICD-9 groupings from the ICE on Injury Statistics web site. In ISOL these are used for:
Mortality data for the years before 2000,
Hospitalization data for the years before 2001-02.

ICD-10
ICD-10 groupings from the ICE on Injury Statistics web site. In ISOL these are used for:
Mortality data for 2000 and later years
Hospitalization data from provinces/territories that have implemented ICD-10-CA (in or after fiscal year 2001-02)

New ICD-9
ICD-9 groupings that correspond as closely as possible to the ICD-10 groupings. In ISOL these are used for:
Hospitalization data from provinces/territories that have not implemented ICD-10-CA (beginning with fiscal year 2001-02).
