A conversion code from the RCGP to the ICHPPC classification system.
Faculty members from four family medicine training programs participated in the production of a definitive conversion of the Royal College of General Practitioners Classification of Diseases as modified for use with problem-oriented medical records (RCGP) to the International Classification of Health Problems for Primary Care (ICHPPC). The method used to produce the conversion and the several problems encountered are described. A detailed translation with the appropriate ICHPPC equivalent for each RCGP diagnostic title and code number is provided.

Evaluating family practice residents with a problem category index.
Using a standard ambulatory coding system as a base, an index of 42 problem clusters encountered in family practice was developed by two Pennsylvania family practice residency programs. Comparisons of frequencies with which these index problems were encountered by physicians in the Family Practice Centers were used to identify the practice patterns of family practice residents and faculty. Analyses of these displays, while largely subjective, produced some interesting general and specific results. The initial study indicates that many problems known to be common in family practice are not identified as such by the physician. When this type of information can be simplified, it is welcomed and found useful by residents and faculty in family practice training programs. A simplified index can be developed and used by any physician without any special equipment.
