Iris version 6 is available for testing with ICD-11
2023.10.31
The first test version of Iris version 6 for ICD-11 mortality coding has been released. You will find version 6.0.17 and the Iris Manual under “Downloads” on our website.
The version 6 of Iris for ICD-11 is similar to the previous Iris version 5 (for ICD-10) and maintains all previous functionalities and features. In addition to previous versions, version 6 has been adapted in order to take into account and use the new features of the ICD-11, such as the WHO coding tool and the possibility of post-coordination with extension codes, etc.
This new version is intended for testing and is not yet fit for routine production of mortality statistics. We invite you to download this test version and try it out within your own coding environment. We encourage you to run tests on your data, to have a look around, to try out manual and batch coding in order to be able to provide us with any feedback that you want to share with us.
The Iris Core Group is planning to release another Iris test version 6 by the end of October 2024 which will include changes based on feedback from the users, so we are really looking forward to your test results. A template of the feedback and test report is available within the software package, please fill it out and send it back to the Iris Institute.
