==Recommendations== Recommendation 1: "Physicians should diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome if diagnostic criteria are met following an appropriate history, physical examination, and medical work-up. A new code should be assigned to this disorder in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision ([[ICD-10]]), that is not linked to “chronic fatigue” or “neurasthenia.”"<ref>{{Cite book | title = "Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness"|language=en | url =https://www.nap.edu/read/19012/chapter/9#222 | pages = 222|isbn=978-0-309-31692-7|edition=|volume=|title-link=|access-date=2020-05-27 | date = 2015 | publisher=The National Academies Press | last = Institute of Medicine: Committee on the Diagnostic Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | first = | authorlink = |veditors=|others=|doi=|oclc=|quote=|archive-url=|archive-date=|location=|editor-last = |editor-first = |editor1-link=|editor-last2 = |editor-first2 = }}</ref> Recommendation 2: "The Department of Health and Human Services should develop a toolkit appropriate for screening and diagnosing patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome in a wide array of clinical settings that commonly encounter these patients, including primary care practices, emergency departments, mental/behavioral health clinics, physical/occupational therapy units, and medical subspecialty services (e.g., rheumatology, infectious diseases, neurology)."<ref>{{Cite book | title = "Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness"|language=en | url =https://www.nap.edu/read/19012/chapter/9#223 | pages = 223|isbn=978-0-309-31692-7|edition=|volume=|title-link=|access-date=2020-05-27 | date = 2015 | publisher=The National Academies Press | last = Institute of Medicine: Committee on the Diagnostic Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | first = | authorlink = |veditors=|others=|doi=|oclc=|quote=|archive-url=|archive-date=|location=|editor-last = |editor-first = |editor1-link=|editor-last2 = |editor-first2 = }}</ref> Recommendation 3: "A multidisciplinary group should reexamine the diagnostic criteria set forth in this report when firm evidence supports modification to improve the identification or care of affected individuals. Such a group should consider, in no more than 5 years, whether modification of the criteria is necessary.
