How does OIICS compare to other coding systems?
The OIICS was largely based on the American National Standards Institute’s Method of Recording Basic Facts Relating to the Nature and Occurrence of Work Injuries, ANSI Z16.2-1962, revised 1969. The 1995 revision of the ANSI Z16.2 standard was then based on the OIICS. In addition, the BLS made OIICS as compatible as feasible with the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification, released by the Public Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services in 1989.
