The WONCA Classification Committe


Deutsch English Español Français
Italiano Nederlands Norvegian Portugese

Since 1972, the Wonca Classification Committee has been elaborating research tools for general practice. ICPC, its most important project, is a disease classification system for family physicians, and it is available in more than 20 languages. The second edition, ICPC-2, will be published in 1998. The Committee, acting as a methodological research laboratory, has created or validated various other tools in the domain of outcome measurements as functional health status indicators or indices of severity. Following the publication of a Glossary, a real dictionary of general practice is currently being developed.
