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

WHO has accepted ICPC-2 within the WHO FIC mainly as a reason for encounter classification, and users may use it as a classification for primary care or general practice wherever applicable.

ICPC-2 is currently used in Belgium (in combination with ICD-10) by General Practitioners for codification purposes.

The ICD is the international standard diagnostic classification for all general epidemiological, many health management purposes and clinical use. These include the analysis of the general health situation of population groups and monitoring of the incidence and prevalence of diseases and other health problems in relation to other variables such as the characteristics and circumstances of the individuals affected, reimbursement, resource allocation, quality and guidelines.
It is used to classify diseases and other health problems recorded on many types of health and vital records including death certificates and health records. In addition to enabling the storage and retrieval of diagnostic information for clinical, epidemiological and quality purposes, these records also provide the basis for the compilation of national mortality and morbidity statistics by WHO Member States.
ICD-10 is available in the six official languages of WHO (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) as well as in 36 other languages

ICD-10 is currently used in Belgium (in combination with ICPC2) by General Practitioners for codification purpose.

The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) provides codes to classify diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or disease. Every health condition can be assigned to a unique category and given a code, up to six characters long. Such categories can include a set of similar diseases.

The ICD-9 was published by the WHO in 1977. According to the World Health Organization Department of Knowledge Management and Sharing, the WHO no longer publishes or distributes the ICD-9 which is now public domain.

ICD-9-CM International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is a classification used in assigning codes to diagnoses associated with inpatient, outpatient, and physician office utilization in the U.S. The ICD-9-CM is based on the ICD-9 but provides for additional morbidity detail and is annually updated. It was created by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics as an extension of ICD-9 system so that it can be used to capture more morbidity data and a section of procedure codes was added. This extension was called "ICD-9-CM", with the CM standing for "Clinical Modification".

The ICD-9-CM consists of:

• a tabular list containing a numerical list of the disease code numbers in tabular form;
• an alphabetical index to the disease entries;
• and a classification system for surgical, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures (alphabetic index and tabular list).

In Belgium, this table is mainly used in hospital settings as compulsory classification for MHS (Minimum Hospital Summary). This use is defined by FPS Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment.

The codes IBUI are related to the thesaurus developed in Belgium in support to General Practitioners. The thesaurus is built around medical concepts. A “concept” is a fixed unit, clearly defined, of clinical notions (“clinical thinking”), such as e.g. “acute bronchitis”. Those concepts are used as clinical definitions which can be used as text, symptoms description, procedure, diagnostic, risk factor, etc.. in the Electronic Health Record. They are furthermore translated in Dutch and French so that linguistically they can be considered as perfectly similar. Each concept is linked at least to one couple ICPC2-ICD10. A link with 2 or more couples is possible as a concept can be apprehended from different angles when dealing with medical classification. However codes related to procedures/interventions are not coupled to ICD but only to a single ICPC code. The link which unites the french and dutch concepts to their couple(s) of code(s) is created through an IBUI (Identifcateur Belge Unique / Belgische Unieke Identificator); this IBUI is thus a pure technical instrument without any scientific or analytical value. To each concept is attached a list of several “search terms”: the terms of the concept itself, the synonyms or other useful terms to search the concept.
The IBUI associates those key-words to the concepts for each term separately. French and Dutch search terms are independent from each other and thus do not match. They only determine the concept in the same language than the searched term.

We only provide here a small extract for illustration purpose. The thesaurus has been made available to users from January 2008 on. It can be downloaded from the FPS Health site . The IBUI thesaurus is now a part of 3BT.
