Diagnostic and Surgical Procedures

In medicine, diagnosis (plural, diagnoses) is the process of identifying a medical condition or disease by its signs, symptoms, and from the results of various diagnostic procedures. The conclusion reached through this process is called a diagnosis. Surgical procedures (International Classification of Disease (ICD) 9-CM and case mix) refer to all invasive therapies performed as in-patient surgery, where in-patient surgery is defined as a surgical operation or procedure which is performed with an overnight stay in an in-patient institution.
