Introduction:
The International Classification of Primary Care, Second version (ICPC-2) aligned with the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) is a standard for primary care epidemiology compendium. ICPC-2 has been also intended to identify the clinical topics in family medicine. Contextual field-specific knowledge in family medicine and primary care such as health structures, management, categories of patients, research methods, ethical or environmental features are not standardized and reflect, more often, the views of experts.
Methods:
A qualitative research method, applied to the analysis of several Family Medicine congresses, has helped identify, in addition to clinical items, a spectrum of contextual concepts addressed by family doctors during their exchanges at the congresses. Assembled in a hierarchical manner, these concepts were given expression, together with ICPC-2, under the name of Q-codes Version 2.5, in the multilingual multi-terminology semantic server of the Department of Information and medical informatics (D2Im) at the University of Rouen, France. The two classifications are edited under the acronym 3 CGP for Core Content classification of General Practice. This free access server allows you to consult the ICPC-2 in 22 languages and the Q-codes in ten languages.
Results:
The result of the joint use of these two classifications, as descriptors in congress to identify the concepts in texts or index the gray literature for family medicine and primary care is presented here in its various pilot uses. The validity and generalizability of 3CGP appears to be good in the light of the translations already carried out by colleagues around the world and of the applicability of the method in the two sides of the Atlantic. However the reproducibility and the inter-coder variations still remain to be tested for Q-codes. Maintenance remains an issue.
Conclusion:
This method highlights the conceptual extension, the complexity and the dynamics of the role of general practitioner and family doctor as well as of primary care physician.
