The 8th North American Collaborating Center Conference on ICF
The 8th North American Collaborating Center Conference on ICF was
hosted by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) and the National
Center for Health Statistics - CDC and sponsored by the World Health
Organization Collaborating Center for the Family of International
Classifications for North America. It was held in Toronto, Canada, June 2-4,
2002.
This was our first NACC conference since the official publication of the
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in six
languages. It offered an open forum to present and discuss the implementation of
ICF in the United States and Canada as well as other parts of the world. It
provided a valuable opportunity for sharing knowledge and networking with the
policy makers, scientists, researchers and clinicians.
This conference brought together 74 participants involved with ICF from
academia, health and health related fields not only from the North American
countries – Canada and the United States – but also Germany, Netherlands,
Switzerland, Denmark and Brazil
There were 32 presentations and one panel discussion with four presenters.
The presentations were grouped under six themes: Strategies for ICF, ICF
Conceptual and Issue Areas, ICF Surveys, ICF for Clinical Practice, Capturing
& Coding Functional Status Information and Basic ICF Research.
