"Illness Unspecified"
What We Do
We are currently working on several specific projects and hope to have a roundtable soon to keep the community updated. Stay tuned!
-
We have submitted a proposal to change how "Uncertain Diagnoses" are coded in the United States of America to include the use of R69. If you are interested in showing your support, please see here.
-
Our next highest priority is to see the development of criteria for when R69 ("illness unspecified") can be used to maximize global benefit. We anticipate this being a highly collaborative effort and are looking for partners to help organize the merging of perspectives from medical experts and those with lived experience on the rare disease diagnostic odyssey.
