Foundation
The ICD Foundation Component

Foundation Component is a collection of ALL ICD entities like diseases, disorders... It represents the whole ICD universe.

In a simple way, the foundation component is similar to a “store” of books or songs. From these elements we build a selection as a linearization. This analogy may however be misleading because there are many links between the ICD entities (like parent-child relations and other).
The ICD entities in the Foundation Component:
1. are not necessarily mutually exclusive
2. allow multiple parenting ( i. e. an entity may be in more than one branch, for example tuberculosis meningitis is both an infection and a brain disease)
Linearizations
The ICD Linearizations
A linearization is a subset of the foundation component, that is:
1. Fit for a particular purpose: reporting mortality, morbidity, or other uses
2. Jointly Exhaustive of ICD Universe (Foundation Component)
3. Composed of entities that are Mutually Exclusive of each other
4. Each entity is given a single parent
Linearizations are similar to the classical print versions of ICD Tabular List (e.g. volume I of ICD-10 or other previous editions). Various linearizations could be built at different granularity, use case or other purposes such as for Primary Care, Clinical Care or Research. The linkage from the foundation component to a particular linearization will ensure consistent use of the ICD.

Browsing Using the Hierarchy

When browsing ICD11, you will see the classification hierarchy on the left side of the screen. Clicking on any item will display the details of that entity on the right side of the screen

Initially, the system only shows the top level items. However, you may make the children visible by clicking on the small triangles on the left side of the items.

You could use the button to close all of the open branches and return back to the top level hierarchy
