目的：我们着手开发和实施一个系统的诊断代码，用于计算机管理信息系统的社区牙科服务的北约克公共卫生部方法：我们收到了工作人员输入一个共同的诊断，审查其他诊断系统，并建立了一个理想的编码系统的标准，代码是一致的消防格式的其他分类系统中使用的牙科管理信息在加拿大。这些措施已于1997-98年度实施。结果：我们开发了一个系统的四位数，数字代码的牙科诊断。诊断代码在患者层面是具体的，与目前关于疾病自然史和分类的证据一致，与口腔状况的常规措施一致，并符合加拿大治疗代码系统的范例。在第一年，6,740名患者中有91%至少有一种诊断，平均每名患者有2.5种诊断。五种最常见的诊断是光滑表面龋、窝沟龋、牙结石、深裂牙和牙龈炎。结论：我们已经开发了一个编码系统，用于牙科诊断，该系统已经获得了很高的使用率，并提供了更多关于牙医工作人员所看到的情况的信息。
Objectives: We set out to develop and implement a system of diagnostic codes for use in the computerized management information system of the Community Dental Services of the North York Public Health Department Methods: We received staff input an common diagnoses, reviewed other diagnostic systems and established criteria for an ideal coding system, The codes are consistent with fire format of other classification systems used in dental management information in Canada. They were implemented in 1997-98. Results: We developed a system of four-digit, numeric codes for dental diagnoses. The diagnostic codes are specific at the level of the patient, consistent with current evidence on the natural history and classification of diseases, consistent with conventional measures of oral conditions and fit the paradigm of the Canadian system of treatment codes. In the first year, 91 percent of 6,740 patients had at least one diagnosis, with a mean of 2.5 per patient The five most common diagnoses were smooth surface caries, pit and fissure caries, calculus, teeth with deep fissures, and gingivitis. Conclusions: We have developed a coding system for dental diagnoses that has achieved high use and provided more accessible information on the conditions seen by staff dentists.
