To develop functioning indicators from ICF codes for public health policies, the ICF must first be introduced to primary care professionals. They should create a simple form to collect ICF codes, qualifiers, and other variables. The coded data should then be entered into an Excel database and converted to a ".dbf" file readable by the TabWin program. TabWin can tabulate the ICF codes to generate statistics on functioning levels across variables like age, gender, and neighborhood. This will provide the first step toward an ICF-based health information system representing population functioning beyond just disabilities.
