      • With ICD-9: looking at ICD-10 and ICD-11 is also a way to manage this.

  • Group discussed larger issue of reporting issues with content e.g. duplicates, errors. Reporting option desired by group members with recognition that these issues may need to sit on hold given other priorities such as the Quality Initiative work. With reporting, it would be preferred if there was an option to see if the issue had already been reported.
