Design and validation of AQUA CHILD-Pre-aquatic questionnaire assessing child development.

Purpose: We developed a proxy questionnaire for parents of children with Developmental Delay (DD) to provide comprehensive information for instructors about the child's functioning before participating in aquatic activities. This dedicated information will enable a high-quality treatment plan to promote the child's functioning in everyday life.

Methods: Based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) Coreset development and linking rules method, a set of questions was constructed in a preliminary process.

Operationalizing and digitizing person-centered daily functioning: a case for functionomics.

An ever-increasing amount of data on a person's daily functioning is being collected, which holds information to revolutionize person-centered healthcare. However, the full potential of data on daily functioning cannot yet be exploited as it is mostly stored in an unstructured and inaccessible manner. The integration of these data, and thereby expedited knowledge discovery, is possible by the introduction of functionomics as a complementary 'omics' initiative, embracing the advances in data science.

Feasibility of Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) as a Framework for Aquatic Activities: A Scoping Review.

(1) Background: In recent years, reviewing studies of aquatic activities for children with developmental delays has been a complex task due to the multitude of indices and professional languages. (2) Aim: To determine if the ICF-CY framework can be used as the unifying language in AA studies of children with DD. (3) Methods: Part One-A systematic review of selected studies focusing on goals that were found to be positive.

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Accuracy in Aquatic Activities Reports among Children with Developmental Delay.

Functioning, as described in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), increasingly raises interest in the world of child rehabilitation, especially because its application empowers patients and parents by not putting the emphasis on disability in terms of the medical diagnosis but on the person's lived experience and the level of functioning that might be achieved. However, this requires the correct understanding and application of the ICF framework to overcome differences in the often locally used models or the understanding of disability, including mental aspects. To evaluate the level of accurate use and understanding of the ICF, a survey was performed on studies of aquatic activities in children aged 6-12 with developmental delay published between the years 2010 and 2020.

Improving Primary Health Care Data With : From a Medical to a Person-Centered Perspective.

The World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) developed the third edition of the () to support the shift from a medical perspective to a person-centered perspective in primary health care. The previous editions ( and ) allowed description of 3 important elements of health care encounters: the reason for the encounter, the diagnosis and/or health problem, and the process of care. The adds function-related information as a fourth element, thereby capturing most parts of the encounter in a single practical and concise classification.

Assessment of functioning in Dutch primary care: Development study of a consultation tool for patients with chronic conditions and multimorbidity.

Background: In primary care, a shift from a disease-oriented approach for patients with multimorbidity towards a more person-centred approach is needed.

Aim: To transform a self-report questionnaire for patients with chronic conditions in primary care, the Primary Care Functioning Scale (PCFS), into an understandable, visually attractive and feasible consultation tool for patients and health care providers. The consultation tool consists of a web-based version of the PCFS, which is filled in by the patient and is processed to a feedback report that summarizes and visualizes the main findings.

Toward a Harmonized WHO Family of International Classifications Content Model.

An overarching WHO-FIC Content Model will allow uniform modeling of classifications in the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC) and promote their joint use. We provide an initial conceptualization of such a model.

Primary care functioning scale showed validity and reliability in patients with chronic conditions: a psychometric study.

Objectives: We evaluated the psychometric properties of a newly developed self-report questionnaire that aims for a more person-centered approach in primary care for patients with chronic conditions, the Primary Care Functioning Scale (PCFS).

Study Design And Setting: To test the measurement properties of the PCFS, we asked patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic pulmonary disease to complete the PCFS questionnaire. The PCFS is entirely based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), consisting of 52 ICF-related items covering body functions, activities and participation, environmental factors, and personal factors.

Perceived usefulness of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) increases after a short training: A randomized controlled trial in master of advanced nursing practice students.

The Master program of Advanced Nursing Practice (MANP) educates nurses to become a nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners are health care professionals focusing on the intersection of cure and care. However, a clear model covering that area is lacking.

From a Categorical Structure to a Concept Model: The International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI).

The International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI) alpha2 2016 Section 1 Interventions on Body Systems and Functions is based on ISO 1828 international standard named categorial Structure (CAST). This is not sufficient to represent the meaning of ICD9-CM Volume 3 labels. We propose to modify it by using the SNOMED CT concept model.

Reconsideration of the scheme of the international classification of functioning, disability and health: incentives from the Netherlands for a global debate.

Purpose: The ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) framework (used worldwide to describe 'functioning' and 'disability'), including the ICF scheme (visualization of functioning as result of interaction with health condition and contextual factors), needs reconsideration. The purpose of this article is to discuss alternative ICF schemes.

Method: Reconsideration of ICF via literature review and discussions with 23 Dutch ICF experts.

Does language ambiguity in clinical practice justify the introduction of standard terminology? An integrative review.

Aims And Objectives: To research the use of ambiguous language in written information concerning patients' functioning and to identify problems resulting from the use of ambiguous language in clinical practice.

Background: Many projects that aimed to introduce standard terminology concerning patients' functioning in clinical practice are unsuccessful because standard terminology is rarely used in clinical practice. These projects mainly aim to improve communication by reducing ambiguous language.

The applicability of the international classification of functioning, disability, and health to study lifestyle and quality of life of colorectal cancer survivors.

Background: Well-designed studies on lifestyle and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in colorectal cancer survivors based on a biopsychosocial instead of a traditional biomedical approach are warranted. We report on the applicability of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) as useful biopsychosocial framework to improve research on how lifestyle influences colorectal cancer survivors' HRQoL, using the Energy for life after ColoRectal cancer (EnCoRe) study as an example.

Methods: The ICF was used to develop a conceptual model for studying lifestyle and colorectal cancer survivors' HRQoL, by identifying relevant factors from literature and mapping them within the ICF.

An Ontology driven collaborative development for biomedical terminologies: from the French CCAM to the Australian ICHI coding system.

The CCAM French coding system of clinical procedures was developed between 1994 and 2004 using, in parallel, a traditional domain expert's consensus method on one hand, and advanced methodologies of ontology driven semantic representation and multilingual generation on the other hand. These advanced methodologies were applied under the framework of an European Union collaborative research project named GALEN and produced a new generation of biomedical terminology. Following the interest in several countries and in WHO, the GALEN network has tested the application of the ontology driven tools to the existing reduced Australian ICHI coding system for interventions presently under investigation by WHO to check its ability and appropriateness to become the reference international coding system for procedures.

Past and future use of the ICF (former ICIDH) by nursing and allied health professionals.

Purpose: This study describes the use of the ICIDH by allied health professionals and the nursing professions in The Netherlands. It is an example for showing how in recent years the application of the ICIDH has developed within professions. The data elements of patient descriptors documented by nurses and allied health professionals using the ICIDH, as a shared terminology, are presented.
