The Australian Bureau
of Statistics (ABS) has established this User
Group internet facility to provide an effective forum for
discussion between both existing and potential users of Mortality Medical
Data System (MMDS) the automated mortality software provided by the United
States National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The forum has been
designed to communicate information on developments in automated mortality
coding, MMDS, and to allow users to share their knowledge and expertise in
the use and application of ICD-10.
