SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The WHO 

ICF is a classification of health and 

health-related domains, including a list 

of body functions and a list of domains 

of activity and participation (see 

www.who.int/classification/icf/en/). The 

ICF for Children and Youth (ICF–CY) is 

a derived version of the ICF designed to 

record characteristics of the developing 

child and the influence of environments 

surrounding the child. The ICF and the 

ICF–CY reflect WHO’s framework for 

measuring health and disability at both 

individual and population levels. 

Multiple organizations have officially 

supported the ICF. 

• In May 2001, the 191 WHO Member 

States officially endorsed it for their use 

as the international standard to describe 

and measure health and disability. 

• The WHO members accepted ICF– 

CY on October 31, 2006. 

• The Institute of Medicine (IOM) 

supports the use of ICF to help 

standardize how agencies describe and 

measure different aspects of disability. 

In its 2007 report, ‘‘The Future of 

Disability in America,’’ the IOM 

encouraged Federal agencies involved 

in disability monitoring to adopt the ICF 

as their conceptual framework.2

• The Health Information Technology 

(HIT) Policy Committee, a public 

advisory body on HIT to the Office of 

the National Coordinator for Health 

Information Technology of the U.S. 

Department of Health & Human 

Services, recently recommended the 

ICF, along with Systematized 

Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical 

Terms (SNOMED–CT) and Logical 

Observation Identifiers Names and 

Codes (LOINC), for reporting clinical 

quality measures on the concept of 

functional status.3

We are studying several uses for ICF 

coding. We could use it, for example, to 

describe function in activities of daily 

living, to describe residual functional 

capacity (to satisfy a specific set of 

disability criteria), or to develop a 

compendium of job descriptions that 

includes mental and physical functional 

requirements. 

We invite comment on this notice 

from members of the public and from 

Federal agencies. We also request that 

Federal agencies involved in making 

disability assessments share information 

with us regarding their review of the ICF 

as a standard for coding functional 

capacity, and we invite them to 

collaborate with us in evaluation of the 

ICF for use in the business process for 

Federal disability programs.
