Building on the foundation of ICD-10, it introduces innovative features such as multilingual coding, advanced interoperability, postcoordination, and improved specificity, enabling better alignment with modern healthcare and digital information systems. This commentary explores the adoption pathways for ICD-11 in France and the United States, 2 countries with complex healthcare infrastructures and distinct implementation strategies. France's phased roadmap, led by the National Health Information Agency, prioritizes system readiness, workforce training, and pilot testing to ensure smooth integration
