International classification of diseases (ICD-10)- diseases, disorders, injuries, etc. ICF-
functioning and disability associated with health conditions - CORRECT ANSWER -
Belongs to the family of World Health Organizations international classification.

nor does it classify diseases, disorders, or injuries for reimbursement
All conditions have an extreme variation. is a "framework" for how we think about people and
health. Straight forwards diagnostic codes.
ICF - CORRECT ANSWER - Aims
Provide a scientific basis
,Establish a common language
Permit comparison of data
Provide a systematic coding system. Provide a scientific basis for understanding and studying
health and health-related states, outcomes and determinants; not just the disease it allows for
context surrounding the disease
To establish a common language for describing health and health-related states in order to
improve communication between different users; documentation is a great example
To permit comparison of data across countries, health care disciplines, services and time;
To provide a systematic coding scheme for health information systems.
Educational, clinical, social policy, statistical, and research - CORRECT ANSWER - The 5
applications of the ICF
Educational - CORRECT ANSWER - An application of ICF; curriculum design;
curriculum design and raise awareness and undertake social actions. We are valuing the same
things
Clinical - CORRECT ANSWER - An application of ICF; needs assessment; outcome
evaluations; needs assessment, matching treatment with specific conditions, vocational
assessment, rehabilitation and outcome evaluations
Social policy - CORRECT ANSWER - An application of ICF; design/implementation
Statistical - CORRECT ANSWER - An application of ICF; collect/record data (population
studies)
Research - CORRECT ANSWER - An application of ICF; measure outcomes; quality of
life or environmental factors
ICF - CORRECT ANSWER - About ALL people (including you and me)
Unit of classification (of health and health-related domains)
, Describes situation of each individual
Less focus on medical diagnosis and greater focus on ability in action
encompasses all aspects of human health and some health-relevant components of well-being
and describes them in terms of health domains (e.g., seeing hearing, walking, learning, &
remembering) and health-related domains (e.g., transportation, education, social interactions).
There is a widely held misunderstanding that this is only about people with disabilities; in fact, it
is about ALL people. The health and health-related states associated with all health conditions
can be described using it. In other words, it is universal.
It is not only the individual we should look at but also the context.
The World Health Organization Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health or ICF
Model - CORRECT ANSWER - provides a framework for describing health and health-
related states. The components of the ICF framework include body functions and structures, and
activities and participation. Each component consists of various domains used to systematically
outline a profile of what a person with a given health condition does do and can do. Each
component can be expressed in positive or negative terms- you can talk about what the client can
do but also what they are unable to do.
Meet individuality of description
Body functions and Body structures - CORRECT ANSWER - In the ICF model if we
know the diagnosis, what may be impacted because of this diagnosis?
spectrum - CORRECT ANSWER - We look at functioning and disability on and what?
Body functions - CORRECT ANSWER - Physiological functions of body systems (i.e.,
mental, sensory, voice/speech, etc.)
Body structures - CORRECT ANSWER - Anatomical parts of the body (i.e., organs,
limbs, etc.)
Impairments - CORRECT ANSWER - Problems in body function or structure (i.e.,
deviation or loss)
