People will do what they always do when asked to do the impossible, they will do what they can do and fudge the rest.

... or someone will write a short program that would “translate” the diagnosis into the proper code.

It's like carrying too many decimal places in a computation, a greater number than the accuracy of the quantities concerned.
A lot of time will be wasted trying to distinguish medical conditions that are differentially uncertain, and these will become the fodder for subsequent statistical studies that determine IPAB death panel decisions. Idiocy.

Yup. The academics and bean counters are salivating at the “ data”.
But it will be Garbage In Garbage Out. We will find the general codes and use those.

Boy, ain't that the truth! I had several jobs where most employee energy went into gaming the system in ways to make it appear they were doing the impossible in order to stay off all the sh** lists.
