ICPC-3 French translation

The CISP Club is a French-speaking association dedicated to the study of information systems in primary healthcare. The third version of the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC), a product of the Wonca International Classification Committee (WICC), has just been released under the acronym ICPC-3. The ICPC is a classification tool for primary healthcare, useful for clinical epidemiology and the management of primary care. ICPC-3 represents a major advancement due to its extensibility, its mapping to ICD-10 and 11, as well as SNOMED-CT. Additionally, ICPC-3 incorporates the principles of the ICF, the International Classification of Functioning. The ICPC is currently integrated into general practice software in many countries, including Belgium. The translation of ICPC-3 was carried out by a group of members from the CISP Club and took two years. The translation process generated numerous comments, feedback, and corrections, which were presented at the annual meeting of the Wonca International Classification Committee. This presentation led to extensive discussions between the members of the CISP Club and WICC members. The numerous comments and suggestions will then be taken into account by the WICC group responsible for the revision of ICPC-3.
