Canadian Diagnostic Codes (Shortcodes2000) for Adult Congenital Cardiac Patients

This document was developed by the Canadian Adult Congenital Heart (CACH) Network. It is intended for professionals wishing to simplify the diagnostic coding process for adult congenital heart patients. It is derived from the more comprehensive list called "codes2000". Anyone who finds this useful is welcome to use or adapt it. This file can be downloaded free of charge.
