ICPC-2 PLUS
ICPC-2 PLUS is a clinical terminology classified to the International Classification of Primary Care Version 2 (ICPC-2). It is developed by the Family Medicine Research Centre (FMRC) at the University of Sydney and is used in the BEACH program of the FMRC.
Overview[edit | edit source]
ICPC-2 PLUS allows the coding of the patient's reason for encounter (RFE), the problems managed, and the treatments provided, at a more specific level than is possible using ICPC-2 alone. It is a tool for the conversion of medical terminology used by clinicians into a classified and analysable form.
Structure[edit | edit source]
ICPC-2 PLUS consists of multiple terms, each linked to an ICPC-2 rubric. These terms are classified to three, four or five digit codes. The first three digits of the code represent the ICPC-2 rubric to which the term is classified. The fourth and fifth digits allow more specific classification of the term within the rubric.
Usage[edit | edit source]
ICPC-2 PLUS is used in the analysis of data from the BEACH program, in the General Practice Statistics and Classification Unit (GPSCU) at the FMRC, and in a variety of other research and quality improvement activities. It is also used in the electronic health record (EHR) systems of some countries.
