With the presentation of this project we want to show some of the facilities of the ICD-10 Internet version.
The interactive forum called ICD-10 Chapter V (F) newsgroup will hopefully initiate discussion, exchange of information in research and will be a source of actual arguments in diagnostics as well as a help for diagnostic problems. All this is accessible world-wide very quickly and easily.
This interactive ICD-10 forum is a challenge to use it.If you have comments, questions and suggestions concerning ICD-10 Chapter V (F) use the newsgroup as a discussion forum!
Depending on your active participation actual and different information will be available.
On the next pages you will see the interactive ICD-10 Chapter V (F).
We are also thankful for new suggestions to improve the ICD-10 hypertext. Please don't hesitate to make your comments (e.g. new links)
