The changes were those from IRR951. The prior version only had the change to 36E but didn't include the additional clerical suggestions to streamline the language of the other codes. Here's the most recent WCIO Part of Body/Nature of Injury/Cause of Injury Tables that are located under Standard References on the IAIABC website.
With regards to the WCIO Specifications, they can be found on WCIO's website here.
Thanks!

I'm looking for the changes made to the Injury Description Codes - Part of Body, but do not find a Change Log nor anything in red font. Would someone direct me to the change? Also interested in the WCIO Specifications Excel Format changes. Thank you!
