Orchard Sports Injury and Illness Classification System (OSIICS)

Have you ever seen a big field with lots of fruit trees, like apple trees or cherry trees? That's called an orchard. Sometimes people work in orchards to pick the fruits or take care of the trees.

But sometimes, people who work in orchards can get hurt or sick. They might fall off a ladder or get stung by a bee. When this happens, doctors and scientists need to figure out what kind of injury or illness they have, so they can help them feel better.

That's where something called the Orchard Sports Injury and Illness Classification System, or OSIICS for short, comes in. It's like a big book of codes that doctors and scientists can use to describe different kinds of injuries and illnesses that people who work in orchards might get.

For example, if someone falls off a ladder and hurts their back, the doctor might look in the OSIICS book and find a code for "back injury from fall." That way, other doctors and scientists can also understand what happened and study how to prevent it from happening again in the future.

Overall, the OSIICS is a way for doctors and scientists to talk about orchard injuries and illnesses in a way that makes sense to everyone, so they can work together to keep people safe and healthy while working in orchards.
