Synopsis
The International Classification of Primary Care broke new ground in the world of classification when the first edition was published in 1987. For the first time, using a single classification, health care provides could classify three important elements of the health care encounter: (1) reasons for encounter, (2) diagnoses or problems, (3) process of care. The three elements may be used separately or concurrently. Linkage of the elements permits categorization from the beginning of the encounter to its conclusion. This new edition includes: two further aspects of classification, functional status and severity of illness; a careful mapping of the information to the ICD-10 codes produced by the WHO; cross-referencing; and inclusion criteria. - ;Until the mid 1970s, most morbidity data collected in primary care research was classified using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). This had the advantage of international recognition, aiding comparability of data from different countires. However, many symptoms and non- disease conditions that present in primary care were difficult to code with this classification, originally designed for application to mortality statistics and with a disease-based structure. Recognizing the problem, WONCA designed the International Classification of Health Problems in Primary Care (ICHPPC), however, this was still seen as too closely related to the ICD. A new classification was needed that encompassed both the patient's reason for encounter and the patient's problem. It was also recognized that the building of appropriate primary care systems to allow the assessment and implementation of health care priorities is only possible if the right information is available to health care planners, and this has led to the development of a new classification system - namely, International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC).
