Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bellevue Hospital Nomenclature of Diseases and Conditions: With Rules for the Recording and Filing of Histories The Bellevue Hospital Nomenclature, compiled by this Committee, was first published in 1903. It was revised and entirely recast in 1909 and published in the New York Medical Journal in May and June of that year. In this, the fourth edition, the Nomenclature has been again revised and has been collocated with the International List of Causes of Death, by prefixing to each of its terms the proper International Title Number. The Nomenclature thus constitutes an amplification of that list, rendering it suitable for the registration and compilation of morbidity as well as mortality statistics. The classification of terms into separate groups, alphabetically arranged, is designed to meet the needs of large hospitals where volumes of histories must be kept, easily accessible, and in a useful order. A statement of the primary causes of injuries being necessary for the purpose of vital statisticians and of industrial and insurance statisticians as well, a plan has been incorporated whereby, not only is the nature of the injury shown, but the character of the violence is also indicated. This scheme was devised from the Draft of proposed Arrangement of Violent Deaths, which was included by the American Committee in their recommendations preliminary to the Congress of Revision, at Paris, in July, 1909.
