Advancing Refugee Health Data Management: The Implementation of ICD-11 in UNRWA’s Primary Care System
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was one of the earliest healthcare systems globally to implement the International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11) across its 140 clinics serving 5.9 million Palestine refugees. This paper discusses the integration of ICD-11 into UNRWA's cloud-based electronic medical record (EMR) system, identifying both the barriers and facilitators…
ICD-11 Morbidity Pilot in Kuwait: Methodology and Lessons Learned for Future Implementation
This paper reports on the first ICD-11 morbidity pilot for inpatient discharges in a public general hospital. We detail the pilot methodology, lessons learned in terms of facilitators and challenges, physician-reported opinion, and considerations for future implementation. The pilot included: engaging stakeholders; selecting the setting; building a common understanding of the discharge process; evaluating and preparing IT infrastructure; ICD-11 t…
Deriving ICD-10 Codes for Patient Safety Indicators for Large-scale Surveillance Using Administrative Hospital Data
BACKGROUND: Existing administrative data patient safety indicators (PSIs) have been limited by uncertainty around the timing of onset of included diagnoses. OBJECTIVE: We undertook de novo PSI development through a data-driven approach that drew upon "diagnosis timing" information available in some countries' administrative hospital data. RESEARCH DESIGN: Administrative database analysis and modified Delphi rating process. SUBJECTS: All hospitali…
Measuring Disability: Comparing the Impact of Two Data Collection Approaches on Disability Rates
The usual approach in disability surveys is to screen persons with disability upfront and then ask questions about everyday problems. The objectives of this paper are to demonstrate the impact of screeners on disability rates, to challenge the usual exclusion of persons with mild and moderate disability from disability surveys and to demonstrate the advantage of using an a posteriori cut-off. Using data of a pilot study of the WHO Model Disabilit…
Concept Analysis of the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
Mapping the content of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) using the International Classification of Functioning, Health and Disability
Socioeconomic Inequality in Disability Among Adults: A Multicountry Study Using the World Health Survey
Objectives. We compared national prevalence and wealth-related inequality in disability across a large number of countries from all income groups. Methods. Data on 218 737 respondents participating in the World Health Survey 2002–2004 were analyzed. A composite disability score (0–100) identified respondents who experienced significant disability in physical, mental, and social functioning irrespective of their underlying health condition. Disabl…
Use of The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a conceptual framework and common language for disability statistics and health information systems
A common framework for describing functional status information is needed in order to make this information comparable and of value. The World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), which has been approved by all its member states, provides this common language and framework. The article provides an overview of ICF taxonomy, introduces the conceptual model which underpins ICF and elaborates…
Developing the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0
OBJECTIVE: To describe the development of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) for measuring functioning and disability in accordance with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. WHODAS 2.0 is a standard metric for ensuring scientific comparability across different populations. METHODS: A series of studies was carried out globally. Over 65,000 respondents drawn from the gene…
Semantic interoperability – Role and operationalization of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
INTRODUCTION: Globalization and the advances in modern information and communication technologies (ICT) are changing the practice of health care and policy making. In the globalized economies of the 21 century, health systems will have to respond to the need of increasingly mobile citizens, patients and providers. At the same time the increased use of ICT is enabling health systems to systematize, process and integrate multiple data silos from di…
