The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a globally used diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management, and clinical purposes. The ICD is maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations System.
Icd has disadvantages in cases of few or none information about the patience in which classification is not achieved, according to a post published at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
"DISADVANTAGES OF ICD CLASSIFICATION. This classification is not suitable in cases where few or no information about the patient is available. In such a case only symptoms of the disease can be coded that can be caused by several different medical conditions that can be regularly coded if we have enough information to confirm the diagnosis. Above mentioned tasks cannot be achieved using ICD 10 classification. The definitive diagnosis that can be coded using ICD can be achieved after several visits of patient and rarely during the first visit."

"A typical day at work would be check on the prior Auth's that was submitted the day before, check the new patient log which gives me a list of new patients and ROP'S(Returning of Patients) and I check the patients demographic information to make sure name, D.O.B Gender, SS#, phone numbers all match up so the claim will not be rejected by the clearing house. Once I handle that I also look at the verification and make sure it the last date it was updated is current if not I all and check the member's eligibility and benefits. I also enter the billing of the routings, and handle a few E.O.B's (Explanation of Benefits) to check claim status. I also look at the rejection report from the clearing houses to see if anything was rejected and if so I can resubmit a corrected claim."Programme Director (Initiatives) says

Provide crisis intervention and advocacy, but mainly to connect them to services provided that will empower them."Former Employee - Intern - Hourly says
"I worked at ICD full-time Cons: No real experiennce. Shady organization. Allegedly run by mafia. Use interns to spam universities, embassies, etc. with invitations to events than never take place."Former Employee - Intern says
"I worked at ICD full-time for less than a year Cons: Unlimited: Discrimination, unhealthy working environment physically and mentally , stressful, lack of security or privacy, lack of equality, respect, lack of peaceful working conditions, no organizational skills of the managers, lack of productive cooperation between the two managers, students' voluntary work exploitation, no career advancement opportunities, informal-black economy, corruption, abusive behavior and treatment."Former Employee - Anonymous Employee says
"I worked at ICD part-time Cons: My experience at ICD reveiled extrememly poor organizational structure, minimal professional responsibility from those in charge, and inefficient (to non-existent) communication channels. The pay was insulting and represented a clear lack of understanding for the need for professional colleagues. The rates drive away accomplished workers. The day-to-day management is inexcusable. Only once administration is clearly structured can the group move forward."Current Employee - Anonymous Employee says

"I worked at ICD full-time for less than a year Cons: Been Threatened and bullied at work"Intern Project Management says
"I worked at ICD for more than a year Cons: Crazy management (e.g. there is no real management); ambiguous atmosphere; managers are running all sorts of things on the side and seem not to be really interested in the Institute or the students. The credo seems to be "let it run by itself" or "the strongest (cunniest) will survive." In short: it's a great place to hang out for some time and meet international crowd from all walks of life. But this is not a serious place to be considered as an employer / partner / professional. I think it should be clearly communicated to the interns and everyone who comes there."Program Coordinator says
"I worked at ICD Cons: - Everything else. the interns have to do everything: from reception work to cleaning, go to the supermarket to buy stuff; - no guidance; - the conferences are just buzz words;"Internship says
"I worked at ICD for less than a year Cons: you will not gain any valuable experience apart from spamming universities and organizations. it is not what they advertise. Instead of hiring permanent staff they hire a lot of interns to market their events."Berlin Global Writer/Editor says
"I worked at ICD for less than a year Cons: Too many interns. Too little guidance. Employees should use the conferences to network in order to find other opportunities."says
"I worked at ICD Cons: Hours can change a lot, expected to attend to events to "fill up" empty places, sometimes quite a pressure for nothing as tasks are useless (databasing and spamming, writing articles for a website but don't want to let us work on real online marketing plans except creating fake profiles to like posts etc), I was fired twice in 2 weeks, one because of "too many interns not enough tasks" and the week after because i was 20mns late (only time happened in 3 month but ran into boss when came to work and had alerted my team leaders). I stayed at work and waited until someone gave me again things to do. Even managers criticized way of doing, silly demands from boss, and unethical practises."Social Media
