Scope: professional education and governance analysis, not patient-specific medical, reimbursement, or legal advice. Translations of China-specific policy terms are unofficial.
Executive takeaways
- ICD-11 TM Module 1 is a classification and data-exchange tool, not an endorsement of efficacy or safety.
- A TM pattern does not replace a biomedical disease diagnosis; relevant use normally preserves both dimensions.
- ICD-11 changes over time, so pages must preserve release, source, and access date.
Scope and reading boundary
Explains the statistical purpose, semantic boundaries, relationship to biomedical disease codes, and safe governance of TM pattern coding.
This overview maps sources, terminology, and evidence. Each entity page still requires its own provenance, release, and safety review; a collection overview cannot support an individual care decision.
Four-layer knowledge map
Every term passes identity, traditional context, modern evidence, and safety checks before publication.
- Purpose: statistics, records, comparison, and interoperability—not direct care instructions.
- Module boundary: this site uses Chinese-Japanese-Korean TM Module 1, not Module 2.
- Dual expression: preserve disease state and TM pattern without semantic replacement.
- Governance: record release, parent, definition, synonyms, exclusions, and change history.
How sources and evidence are graded
Current pharmacopoeias, standards, textbooks, guidelines, and original research have distinct roles. Textbooks explain disciplinary structure, standards fix names and fields, and clinical claims return to the actual population and study design. Mechanistic, animal, or laboratory findings are not human effectiveness claims.
A safer path through the site
Read the overview first, then verify identity and provenance on the entity page. Symptoms, medicines, needling, and disease management require qualified individual judgement. Emergencies and red flags always take priority.
