This edition is indispensable for anyone wishing to use the international classification system for morbidity and functioning data in a primary care setting. Classification has been rewritten to reflect the continued shift in the health paradigm of primary care and public health.
This third edition of the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC-3) is indispensible for anyone wishing to use the international classification system for classification of morbidity data in a primary care setting. Distilling the many standards that are applied internationally in primary & community care and public health to offer a telescopic view, the classification has been completely rewritten to reflect the continued shift in the health paradigm of primary care and public health towards the person rather than the disease or provider. The content of ICPC-3 remains closely linked to relevant related international classifications. The ICPC-3 also contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically to Goal 3 and its target of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.
