Community pharmacists can now use a specialized International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) code subset for pharmaceutical care. This ICPC-Ph list simplifies coding patient complaints and diseases in pharmacy practice.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • The International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) is a coding system for general medical practice.
  • Existing ICPC codes have potential utility in community pharmacy for documenting patient encounters and conditions.
  • A need exists for a tailored coding system to accurately reflect pharmaceutical care practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a specific subset of ICPC codes applicable to community pharmacy settings.
  • To facilitate the coding of patient complaints and diseases encountered in pharmaceutical care.
  • To introduce the resulting ICPC-Ph list for use by community pharmacists.

Main Methods:

  • Selection and adaptation of relevant ICPC codes for community pharmacy practice.
