ICD-10-CM is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, and it is commonly used by most industrialized countries, including mainland China. Although the United States of America has not introduced ICD-10 for disease coding yet, but the act has passed the congress which will eventually be effective at October 1st, 2014. If we keep using the out dated ICD-9-CM as our disease classification system, we will face more difficulties on data exchanging with other countries, resulting in a less accurate, out dated database of health care. This article is focused on graphical analysis, enhancing the relation between the 2nd code (Body System) and the 4th code (Body Part), adjusting the order of the 3rd (Operation) and the 4th code, limiting the choice of the 3rd code with the 4th code. This will result in a better accuracy of the 3rd code. As for satisfaction, the Cronbach’s Alpha is larger than 0.5, which is acceptable. All subjects of the test agreed that the system is able to help the coding work.
