Summary of the facilitating project (max 100 words)	The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) provides codes to classify diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or disease. The ICD is published by the World Health Organization and used worldwide for morbidity and mortality statistics, reimbursement systems and automated decision support in medicine. Currently, occupational diseases are not included in the publication. However, the WHO wish to include occupation in the next revision, in-line with its priorities. · To develop a 'road map' that provides options and models for instructing the process of the ICD revision to incorporate occupational causes of disease. · To consult with international partners on the 'road map' to agree and implement the revision process. · To undertake the revision process through consultation and collaboration with appropriate UK partner organisations and experts (via a proposed expert workshop) and international equivalents. · To collate appropriate evidence/information and contribute to drafting the 11th edition of ICD (external causes).
Anticipated deliverables by 2012 from contributing projects	Note: Contributing projects will not be a component of this work. · A 'road map' plan outling the results of a brief scoping exercise that aims to propose models for the revision process. · A final revision plan (following international consultation of the 'road map') that clearly defines the process. · A draft edition of ICD-11 (External causes) that incorporates occupational causes of disease. · Once agreed, this document will be disseminated via the WHO (website, new articles and notifications) on a global scale. Electronic and hard copies will be made available through the WHO and specialist medical publishers/press.
Critical Gaps to be filled by 2012 in order to fulfil GPA priorities (these lead to deliverables desired by 2012)
Examples of deliverables desired by 2012 to adequately assist developing countries. It is these deliverables for which we will seek projects from CCs	Note: Contributing projects will not be a component of this work.
