The structure of the codes will depend on the classification; for example some use a numerical system, others alphanumeric.

In health care, diagnosis codes are used as a tool to group and identify diseases, disorders, symptoms, poisonings, adverse effects of drugs & chemicals, injuries and other reasons for patient encounters.
