Development
of the Acute and Post-acute ICF Core Sets
The
ICF Core Set project is a joint project of the ICF Research
Branch of the WHO Collaboration Centre of the Family of International
Classifications (DIMDI, Germany) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University
in Munich, Germany, together with the Classification, Assessment
and Surveys (CAS) Team at WHO and partner organisations. The
goal of the ICF Core Set project is to select sets of categories
out of the whole classification, which can serve as minimal
standards for the assessment, communication and reporting
of functioning and health for clinical studies, clinical encounters
and multi-professional comprehensive assessment and management
purposes. The specific objective of this ICF Core Set project
was to develop ICF Core Sets for acute hospitals and early
post-acute rehabilitation facilities.
The
Acute ICF Core Sets for patients with neurological, musculoskeletal
and cardiopulmonary conditions intended for use by physicians,
nurses, therapists and other health professionals working
in the acute hospital and who are not specialised in rehabilitation.
The
Post-acute ICF Core Sets for geriatric patients and patients
with neurological, musculoskeletal or cardiopulmonary conditions
are intended for use by physicians, nurses, therapists and
other health professionals specialised in rehabilitation and
involved in early post-acute rehabilitation programs.
