The U.S. transition to International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10-CM/PCS) on October 1, 2014 will have significant impact on public health entities. CDC's ICD-10 Transition Workgroup is offering a training session that will provide an overview of the transition and an introduction to the new code sets. Specifically, the presentation will describe why the U.S.
ICD-10
The ICD-10-CM Master Mapping Reference Table (MMRT) is a tool and resource to assist public health professionals in code-mapping conversion between ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM.
Background
Description
The Department of Defense conducts syndromic surveillance of health encounter visits of Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries. Providers within the MHS assign up to 10 diagnosis codes to each health encounter visit. The diagnosis codes are grouped into syndrome and sub-syndrome categories. On October 1, 2015, the Health and Human Services-mandated transition from ICD- 9-CM to ICD-10-CM required evaluation of the syndrome mappings to establish a baseline of syndrome rates within the DoD. The DoD data within the BioSense system currently utilizes DoD ESSENCE syndrome mappings. The Master Mapping Reference Table (MMRT) was developed by the CDC to translate diagnostic codes across the ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM encoding systems to prepare for the transition. The DoD ESSENCE and MMRT syndrome definitions are presented in this analysis for comparison.
Objective
The transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM requires evaluation of syndrome mappings to obtain a baseline for syndromic surveillance purposes. Two syndrome mappings are evaluated in this report.

Executive Summary
Impetus for this report: On October 1, 2015 in the United States, ICD-10-CM replaced ICD-9-CM for coding information in hospital discharge, emergency department, and outpatient records for administrative and financial transactions. This change will impact national and state-based injury and violence surveillance activities that use these records.

Join ISDS on June 3rd for an instructional webinar on ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM/PCS mapping tools, including the newly released MapIt tool. This tool, which was developed by AHRQ and CDC, is an automated mapping tool that utilizes General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs) to provide both forward and backward or reverse mapping between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes.
