Ukrainian family doctors, internists and pediatricians, who in hisday use international classification ICPC-2, receive advice with practical examples of coding. With the support of the project, a Joint project of the Ministry of health and world Bank “Improving health’I in the service of the people" and USAID project “Support for health reform’I” a team of regional trainers on the implementation of the International classification of PMD ICPC-2, was created information materials in electronic format 60 pages, at the request of practitioners to improve the understanding of the logic and features of the encoding.
Read them, download and print, you can here.
materials contain General information on the classification structure, its components, usage rules, criteria, inclusions and exclusions to the codes of the processes, but most importantly – examples of usage in the form of tasks with a description of the clinical situation and explaining the logic of the application codes. Therefore, the recommendations will be useful as doctors who have recently begun to use it, and professionals who require clarification of the subtleties of coding.
plans to prepare a printed version that will be deployed in each POLICLINIC of the country, which has a contract with NCSU.
Recall that mgaradna classification of primary care (South ISRS) – this is a new system that allows primary care physicians to focus on patients ' needs, rather than adapt to the accessibility codes for making statistics. The first edition of ISRS has been committed WONCA in 1987 and it was based on a new principle - the understanding that in the PDD is important is not just the opinion of the physician on the patient's problem (diagnosis), but the cause of the patient's application for medical assistance. Thus, in the classification for PMD became available to encode both the diagnosis and the causes of treatment of the patient.
the Ministry of health’I in 2017 has signed an agreement with WONCA regarding the license to use IRS-2 in General practice. Ukrainian language became the 20th official language, which was translated into IRS-2.
