The Secondary Code (ICD-9) template is a generic template that is referenced by various section or entry to enable the consistent communication of an ICD-9 code. Whilst the specification has identified SNOMED as the primary coding system for diagnosis, it recognizes that the ICD-9 code system may also be used may be more clinically appropriate. Consequently the specification supports sending the ICD-9 code as an additional identifier to be attached to the record as required.
