While there is currently no confirmed date for ICD-11 implementation, preparation activities have begun to ensure readiness across the health system. A key part of this preparation is developing knowledge and practical skills to support a smooth transition when the time comes.
Introducing Hands-on with ICD-11
CIHI is excited to release this ICD-11 hands-on learning opportunity to support capacity-building and skills development in the use of ICD-11 and its supporting resources. As part of this work, CIHI will be utilizing the WHO ICD-FiT platform.
This self-directed learning initiative provides practical, applied learning experiences that allow participants to:
- Explore the structure and content of ICD-11
- Navigate the ICD-11 Browser and Coding Tool
- Practice coding case scenarios of varying complexity
- Build foundational knowledge that will support future implementation
Whether you work in coding, data analysis, clinical documentation improvement, education, or health information leadership, Hands-on with ICD-11 offers a valuable opportunity to start developing the skills that will be essential in the future.
Why Participate Now?
Although implementation timing has not yet been determined, early engagement offers several benefits:
- Builds awareness and reduces uncertainty about ICD-11
- Strengthens foundational knowledge ahead of formal transition
- Supports organizational readiness planning
- Provides an opportunity to contribute insights and feedback
