世界卫生组织（世卫组织）的国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）（世卫组织）指出，其五种可能的应用之一是用于临床。《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》既是一个概念框架，也是一个具有复杂数字编码系统和操作定义的分类系统。因此，实际和有用地应用记录评估结果的分类制度可能会有困难。然而，临床医生对ICF的临床解释是必要的，以便能够将复杂的临床评估传达给其他专业人员、第三方付款人、管理人员、医疗保健政策制定者和我们服务的消费者。美国心理学协会和世界卫生组织正在最后确定《程序手册》和《国际功能、残疾和健康分类标准化应用指南：卫生专业人员手册》。本程序手册旨在为卫生专业人员提供ICF临床使用指南，包括关于每个代码临床解释的额外信息，以促进ICF的可靠和有效临床使用。本文讨论了程序手册中讨论的问题和一系列关于语言病理学家临床使用ICF的复杂问题。
The World Health Organization's (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) (WHO, ) states that one of its five possible applications is for clinical use. The ICF is both a conceptual framework and a classification system with a complex numerical coding system and operational definitions. Thus, the practical and useful application of the classification system for recording assessment results could prove difficult. However, an agreed upon clinical interpretation of the ICF by clinicians is essential for it to be able to communicate complex clinical assessments to other professionals, third party payers, administrators, health care policy makers, and the consumers of our services. The American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization are working on finalizing the Procedural Manual and Guide for the Standardized Application of the ICF: A Manual for Health Professionals. This Procedural Manual is being designed to provide health professionals with directions for clinical use of the ICF, including additional information about the clinical interpretation of each code, to facilitate reliable and valid clinical use of the ICF. This article addresses issues discussed in the Procedural Manual and a range of complex issues regarding the clinical use of the ICF by speech-language pathologists.
