In October 2024, an Expert Meeting hosted by the United States National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) took place in Washington, D.C. (USA). The participating experts discussed ideas for advancing the integration of functioning in rehabilitation practice and research by focusing on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)-based data collection tools with particular emphasis on the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine's universal clinical functioning information tool (ClinFIT). This paper shares key insights revealed in these discussions: Implementing practical, patient-centric data collection tools strengthens rehabilitation; scientifically robust research is essential to provide evidence on the utility of ICF-based tools in clinical practice and the implementation of ClinFIT in clinical routine; and concrete solutions are needed to enable clinicians to adopt new assessment tools in practice are needed. To support this endeavour, this paper calls on physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM) physicians worldwide to explore ClinFIT and integrate it in clinical practice and research.
