International Classification of Primary Care

The International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) is a standardized system used by healthcare providers to organize and record patient information, specifically in primary care settings like clinics and family practices. It categorizes health issues, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments in a way that makes it easier to track patterns, understand common health concerns, and improve patient care. By using a common language, ICPC helps ensure consistent communication among healthcare providers worldwide, supporting better health management, research, and policy making.
