22 September saw the start of the Geneva iCamp Meeting to test the iCAT
collaborative authoring tool that the WHO will be using to revise ICD-10.
According to ICD Revision on Facebook

"iCAMP
"The training meeting for the ICD-11 alpha draft will test the
collaborative authoring tool (iCAT) and further develop the joint authoring
tools and procedures. Aims of the iCAMP: Shared Learning Process: - Learn
the tooling environment - Learn how to populate the content model and make
structural changes - Learn the overall workflows for the revision process -
Revise the overall tooling and organization of alpha-drafting Simulating
the "Managing Editor" tasks for alpha-drafting - Managing the input from
different sources into the ICD categories - Identifying the reviewers -
Managing Workflows Observing the interactions amongst the participants to
develop ideas for social networking for the ICD-11 Beta Drafting Phase.
"The starting point for the ICD-11 alpha draft will be the "Start-Up
List" of categories which has been drafted by WHO/HQ to initiate the
editing process. This list includes all the proposals received to revise
the existing ICD-10 as well as the input from ICD national modifications.
During alpha drafting, detailed structured definitions will be added to
these ICD categories according to a common model. In the iCAMP,
participants will review the proposed classification structure, and start
filling in the content model: i.e. they will define the diseases according
to a common template which identifies the parameters and corresponding
values for each of these parameters. Discussions will clarify and improve
the content model, value sets, workflows and the overall revision process.
During this structured exercise, the iCAT will be pilot tested mainly by
the TAG Managing Editors and classification experts.
"TAG Managing Editors will assume three different roles: (a) proposal
generator, (b) reviewer, and (c) managing editor. Thus, they will be
learning-by-doing the details of different contributor roles and testing
whether the collaborative platform is fit for the intended purposes of the
revision process. Classification Experts will examine the start up list for
its completeness, accuracy, conformance with national adaptations and
specialty adaptations as well as its relevance for intended use cases. They
will also start working on the compilation of the coding rules and
instructions (Volume II) and index (Volume III). Informatics experts will
assist in tooling and workflows to ensure effective interactions between
the proposal generators, managing editors and Topic Advisory Groups as well
as other experts. They will also work on the multilingual aspects of the
tooling and the products."
