AAAM is evaluating the need for the development of a short course on the use of the ICDMap – when available, it will be provided on-demand through online training, designed for self-learning and classroom use. Consult the following references for additional details: (1) Zonfrillo MR, Weaver AA, Gillich PJ, Price JP, Stitzel JD. New methodology

The mapping tool platform is dependent on you as the end-user. AAAM provides the maps through a set of data tables in order to keep the methodology as generic as possible and be universally adaptable to individuals’ various needs. The current format is in MS Excel which can be changed by the user to comma separated

There are two fundamental maps that were generated concurrently to use ICD codes to map to AIS. The first one is the “Serious Injury” or dichotomous map that meets the requirements of the injury health community and others to report on serious injury using AIS severity. This map is available with the purchase of

The ICDmap was developed by an AAAM technical mapping group consisting of experts trained in the WHO ICD Revisions and ICD country modifications, and the application of the AIS including trainers from the International Faculty. Members of the group are qualified in nursing, health information management, biomedicine, classification, data management and clinical research. Several members

The Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM) has developed a contemporary map of ICD-9-CM to AIS 2005/2008 and ICD-10-CM to AIS 2005/2008. The mapping project was originally solicited by the Transport and Mobility, Road Safety Unit (TMRSU) of the European Commission (EC) to report serious injuries. In order for the AIS and ISS

A: Code the injury at the L knee as a crush injury at or above the knee code 813002.4, bone, soft tissue, vascular and nerve were all involved. You would also code the open L mid shaft tibia fx even though the leg was amputated this was still an injury
A: Cannot code evisceration, code the abdomianl laceration as minor laceraton < 20 cm 510602.1, code serosal tear assign to jejunum as partial thickness injry 541422.2 hematoma is part of this injury, Lis Franc injury is a dislocation of tarsometatarsal joints with no mention of fracture, cartilage involvement or ligament injury so code 878030.1
A: This fracture requires more information as to whether or not this is a tarsal or a carpal bone; In an actual clinical situation, the physical examination and xray would b labeled as wrist or foot; If this is a tarsal navicular fx then the appropriate code would be 857451.2; if this is a carpal
;
A: Because of the length of coma, the DAI is coded from the concussive section of the head chapter even though we know it is located at the corpus callosum. The coma is consistent for > 24 hours with the MRI appropriately done to confirm the diagnosis and reason for prolonged coma. Code: 161011.5
A: The sigmoid is part of the colon and therefore coded to the “colon” in the abdomen chapter. A perforation is identified. The injury should not be coded any more severely just because the sigmoid was resected. Code:540824.3
