International Classification of Primary Care

International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) is like a directory that lists out different types of healthcare services, such as doctor's visits, tests, and treatments. It helps doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers talk about and understand each other when discussing healthcare needs. Each type of healthcare service is given a special code that everyone can understand. This makes it easier for different healthcare providers to understand what type of care a person needs.
