ICE on Automating Mortality Statistics

What is the ICE on Automating Mortality Statistics?

The International Collaborative Effort (ICE) on Automating Mortality Statistics is one of several international activities sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The purpose of this ICE is to:

• Share knowledge and experience of automated systems for coding mortality information
• To develop and improve existing automated systems through collaboration
• To facilitate the transition to ICD-10 for mortality
• To establish mechanisms for technical support for automated systems.

  The main objective of the International Collaborative Effort (ICE) on Automating Mortality Statistics, Volume II, was to develop recommendations and guidelines to improve European quality and comparability of cause-of-death statistics. This project focused mainly on the coding stage and on the use of Automated Coding Systems (ACS) for medical cause of death.
