The Classification committee of WONCA (World Organization and Academic Association of the general Practitioners) has produced a clinical coding system known as ICPC (International Classification for Primary Care) (1). The release of an updated version ICPC 2 is now published. ICPC-2 classifies patient data and clinical activity in the domains of General/Family Practice and primary care, taking into account the frequency distribution of problems seen in these domains. It allows classification of the patient's reason for encounter (RFE), the problems/ diagnosis managed, interventions, and the ordering of these data in an episode of care structure.
