Course Overview
How can the ICF help you better understand your patients and improve clinical decision-making?
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a practical framework for understanding how health conditions influence a person’s daily life. Rather than focusing solely on diagnosis, the ICF considers body functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors to create a more complete picture of health.
This course explains the structure of the ICF and introduces the biopsychosocial model that underpins it. Through practical examples, you’ll learn how to apply ICF thinking in assessment, treatment planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and rehabilitation without needing to memorise its extensive classification system.

Guter Einstieg oder gute Repetition in das Thema
Gute Beispiele. Etwas schade haben sich die Fragen beim Abschlussquiz etwas deckungsgleich mit jenen vom Quiz im Kurs

Basics einfach und ansprechend erklärt
Ansprechende und abwechslungsreiche Gestaltung. Gut geeignet für Einsteiger. Pflege wird als Zielpublikum nicht aufgezählt, obwohl sie auch mit dem ICF arbeiten.
