World Health OrganizationClassification Assessment Surveys & Terminology Group ICF as a Member in the WHO Family of International Classifications on a par with and to be used with ICD-10 www.who.int/classification/icf
developed over a decade with the active participation of 65 countries • approved May 2001 by the 191 Member States of the World Health Assembly • developed & published simultaneously in 6 WHO Official Languages • English • French • Arabic • Public access on INTERNET • Electronic versions available • in use as the international standard for health and disability • Spanish • Chinese • Russian ICF
Body function&structure(Impairment) Activities (tasks and actions) (Limitation) Participation (involvement in life situation) (Restriction) Environmental Factors Personal Factors Comprehensive Framework Health Condition (disorder/disease)
Body Functions and Structures Mental functions Structures of the nervous system The eye, ear and related structures Sensory functions and pain Voice and speech functions Structures involved in voice and speech Functions of the cardiovascular, haematological, immunological and respiratory systems Structures of the cardiovascular, immunological and respiratory systems Functions of the digestive, metabolic and endocrine systems Structures related to the digestive, metabolic and endocrine systems Genitourinary and reproductive functions Structures related to the genitourinary and reproductive systems Neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions Structures related to movement Functions of the skin and related structures Skin and related structures
Activities and Participation 1 Learning &Applying Knowledge 2 General Tasks and Demands 3 Communication 4 Movement 5 Self Care 6 Domestic Life Areas 7 Interpersonal Interactions 8 Major Life Areas 9 Community, Social & Civic Life
Environmental Factors 1. Products and technology 2. Natural environment and human-made changes to the environment 3. Support and relationships 4. Attitudes 5. Services, systems and policies
ICF CODES • About 1,400 codes at 4–digit level • s = structure in body codes • f = function in body codes Using the fourth option in Activities & Participation… • d = “disability” in A & P list • Qualifiers indicate extent or magnitude of impairment; or extent of difficulty in executing A & P activities • xxx.0 = no difficulty • xxx.1 = mild difficulty • xxx.2=moderate difficulty (med., fair,25-49%) • xxx.3=severe xxx.4= complete (total, 96-100%) • e = environmental facilitator (+1 if mild, +2, +3, +4 if complete) or barrier (.1 if mild barrier, etc.)
ICF for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) just available • In development since 2001 • On the WHO website July ‘04 www.who.int/classification/icf • Uses same code structure as ICF (but expanded) • Six month comment period just began • ICF-CY has same survey and clinical applications as ICF
Are you able to have a conversation with one other person (hearing aid if necessary? (N) Does anyone in your household have difficulty in understanding what is said if someone is talking on the other side of the room? (SA) Does anyone in the family have any trouble hearing what is said in normal conversation (even when wearing a hearing aid)? (US) Do you have any difficulty hearing what is said in a conversation with one other person? (C) *Sample of Survey Items Body Function B230 Hearing function B2300 Sound detection Activities and Participation D310 Communication with receiving – spoken messages D315 Communication with – receiving – non-verbal messages D3150 Communicating with- receiving-body gestures SURVEY QUESTIONS CAN BE BACK CODED TO ICF
FEDERAL CLINICAL DATA COULD BE CODED TO ICF – POSSIBLE APPLIATIONS • Social Security Disability Programs • SSA could require submission of assessment of functional criteria of its Physical and Mental Listings using ICF • Would standardize ‘medical evidence’ for use by SSA evaluators • DHHS Medicare claims • Clinician’s familiarity with ICF would provide a more standard assessment on MDS’s existing checklist • Department of Education • ICF could be used to standardize eligibility reviews
EXAMPLE: Mrs. Stevens has severe degenerative arthritis (SSA Listing of Impairments 1.03) • ICF b530.3 extremely obese • ICF b28016.3 arthritis pain acute • ICF d6200.4 can no longer grocery shop • ICF d465.4 not mobile even with walker • ICF d4702.4 boarding bus with high steps is just too difficult • ICF d7600.2; e310.2 daughter lives nearby but relationship is strained, no help from her • ICF 7100.3 arthritis in right hip
Mrs. Stevens had a hip replacement • ICF e5800+3 successful rehab services • ICF d465.1 with walker, she had only mild difficulty in navigating • ICF e5800+1 slightly helpful physical therapist visits at home • ICF e580.4 but Medicare discontinued her home care coverage • ICF b28016.0 now she is no longer in pain • ICF d4702.1 and can board the bus with only mild difficulty
Mrs. Stevens …a happy ending • ICF d465.0 she no longer needs her walker to get around • ICF d9103.0 she joined a neighborhood crafts club and attends regularly • ICF e1650+4 she won the state lottery grand prize • ICF d7702.0 and at the crafts club she met a gentleman and had a torrid affair
ADVANTAGES OF ICF • Degree of impairment or activity limitation • Longitudinal applications: Same code can be applied at two points in time, with different qualifiers, to show progress or decline • Captures variety and depth in functional status • Captures social relationships and social support • Works with clinical terminologies used in many professions • Useable for rehab assessment & outcome evaluation • Can be used with ICD and other codes
CONSOLIDATED HEALTH INFORMATICS INITIATIVE HAS RECOMMENDED FOR DISABILITY DOMAIN… • Complete content analysis of ICF, SNOMED-CT and other sources within UMLS • Full mapping between ICF and SNOMED_CT • www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/downloads/disability_full_public.doc
