generally.

Yes, Mixing coding systems is not a good idea, even the root cause of many
pain, but in my opinion, in the long run, it is inevitable unless the
integrity of historical data is not taken into account

equivalent. Best for that is to create a dictionary as datafile.

Do it mean a dictary of  'icd10 code'-> 'icd11 code' ?
