ICF INFO

Description

ICF INFO is an international collaborative project which aims to establish the principles to harmonize routinely collected health information based on the ICF. Routine information can be collected with various methods, including patient-reported outcome measures, expert administered instruments and clinical tests, as well as health survey data. In ICF INFO qualitative methods are deployed for establishing content comparison, and psychometric methods for establishing comparability of measurement units.
ICF INFO will allow clinicians and researchers to continue their existing instruments while being able to report based on WHO’s standards for health information.
To realize ICF INFO an international, collaborative network conducted under the auspice of the ICF Research Branch has been established.
