WHO Family of International
Classifications
The World Health Organization
(WHO) maintains several
internationally endorsed
classifications designed to
facilitate the comparison of health
related data within and across
populations and over time as well
as the compilation of nationally
consistent data.[1] This "Family of
International Classifications" (FIC)
include three main (or reference)
classifications on basic
parameters of health prepared by
International Classification
of Functioning, Disability
and Health (ICF)
International Classification
of Health Interventions
(ICHI) (previously known as
International Classification of
Procedures in Medicine)[5]
Derived classifications
Derived classifications are based
on the WHO reference
classifications (i.e. ICD and ICF).[1]
They include the following:
International Classification of
Diseases for Oncology, Third
Edition (ICD-O-3)
ICD-10 Classification of Mental
and Behavioural Disorders This publication deals

What is ICD?
The International Classification of
Disease (ICD) is the most widely
recognized medical classification
maintained by the World Health
Organization (WHO).[20] Its primary
purpose is to categorise diseases
for morbidity and mortality
reporting. The United States has
used a clinical modification of ICD
(ICD-9-CM) for the additional
purposes of reimbursement. ICD10 was endorsed by WHO in 1990,
and WHO Member states began
using the classification system in
1994 for both morbidity and
mortality reporting. In the US,
however, it has only been used for
reporting mortality since 1999.
