Quick Refresher on ICFA Brief Introduction
LOINC/ICF ModelingTimeline
• Jan 2005 – ICF/LOINC first discussed• Dec 2006 – 2-day workgroup meeting• Dec 2006 – Preparation of exemplar LOINC
modeling for each ICF component• Jan 2007 – Presentation, discussion,
refinement of draft at Clinical LOINC Committee Meeting
• July 2007 – ICF Conference• June 2009 – Renewed interest from NCHS• June 2010 – Presentation at ICF
Conference
What is ICF?• Classification of health and health-related
domains• Newest member of WHO Family of International
Classifications (ICF, ICHI, etc)• Classified from body, individual, and societal
perspectives– List of body functions and structures– List of domains of activity and participation
• Puts disability in a new light – common experience
• Can express both enabling and limiting factors
• World Health Organziation. ICF Introduction. Available at: http://www.who.int/classifications/icf/

Qualifiers• Measures assigned after the
component category code• Placed after the decimal• Denote the magnitude of the level of
health (e.g. severity of the problem)• Without qualifiers, an ICF code has
no inherent meaning• Can have up to 4 kinds of qualifiers
per item (optional)

A Proposal for Effective use of ICF and LOINCMaking complementary strengths productive
General Observations• No computer-interpretable version of ICF• Links with other vocabularies (UMLS,
SNOMED) don’t address qualified codes• Several ICF item collections
– Full version, short version, ICF-CY, ICF core sets, more…
• Challenge: ICF classification blends several observation question/answer pairs into 1 code– d410.1302 (changing basic body position) is
really 4 “observations”
Goals• Send a person (or population)’s ICF
classification using same machinery as other health data– To reach ICF’s goals, you need to share data
• Maximize strengths of each terminology (minimize duplication of effort)
• Be informed by real world use – Need some interested parties!
• Facilitate addressing challenges in ICF use– Relationship to standardized assessments and
clinical measures
Original Option 1• Simplest Approach: One LOINC code
– NNNN-N:Functioning Classification:Imp:^Patient:Pt:Ord:ICF
– Expected “answer” in OBX-5 would be a ICF classification
• Problems with Simplest Approach– Still have blending of question/answer in OBX-5– No indications of sets
Original Option 2• Full LOINC Modeling including panels
for ICF Sets• Example: d420 – Transferring oneself
– N-N:Transferring oneself.Performance:Imp:^Patient:Pt:Ord:ICF
– N-N:Transferring oneself.Capacity:Imp:^Patient:Pt:Ord:ICF
– Expected “answers” in OBX-5 would be the ICF qualifiers0 – No setup or physical help from staff
1 – Setup help only
2 – One person physical assist
3 – Two+ person physical assist
8 – ADL activity itself did not occur during entire 7 days
Original Option 2• Problems with this approach
– Labor intensive• Each ICF component + qualifier combination
would be a different LOINC code (assessing different attributes)
• Keeping up with sets would be very difficult
– Some modeling challenges (e.g. anatomy)
– Negotiating IP issues
New Inspiration
Clinical Genomics Model
Further Inspiration
HL7 CDA Framework for Questionnaire Assessments
• Specifies a document package representing the full assessment “form”
• For each observation/answer, enables concurrent transmission of:– Model of Use (LOINC)
• Exact measurement, as on the assessment
– Model of Meaning (SNOMED, ICF) [optional]• Representation of the conceptual assertion in another
(standard) terminology/classification
– Supporting Clinical Observations (LOINC, SNOMED) [optional]
• Data from the EHR that supports the assessment decision

Benefits of Nested Model• Uses HL7-LOINC messaging framework while
minimizing redundant modeling• Accommodates ‘meta-data’ about the result
package• Flexes to accommodate large or small sets of ICF
codes• Enables explicit connection between ICF
classification and supporting clinical data• Accommodates sending alternate identifiers (e.g.
UMLS or SNOMED) for ICF components• Could also use the ICF classification result panel in
another context– nested under a regular clinical observation to convey the
higher level interpretation of that result
Next Steps• Looking for collaborators with live
systems that have a need to exchange ICF classifications electronically– And want to used established messaging
standards
