Application of the ICF model in clinical and rehabilitation settings: Presentation of MHADIE results Dr. José Luis Ayuso-Mateos Professor of Psychiatry Universidad Autónoma de Madrid , Spain WP4 Leader
General Objetives Use the functioning and disability model of the ICF to analyze health surveys in the general population and existing statistics about education. Demonstrate how the ICF model is appropriate for describing disability patterns in the clinical population. Demonstrate ICF validity and usefulness in compiling educational databases. Formulate recommendations for the development of health and social policies in the UE.
How do we measure the impact of disease?
2000 2000
EURO: Top Ten DALYs 2000 1. Ischaemic heart disease 10.5% 2. Cerebrovascular disease 6.8% 3. Unipolar depressive disorders 6.1% 4. Alzheimer and other dementias 3.0% 5. Alcohol use disorders 2.9% 6. Hearing loss, adult onset 2.6% 7. COPD 2.4% 8. Road traffic accidents 9. Osteoarthritis 10. Self-inflicted injuries 2.3%
Need for instruments that use the biopsychosocial model in the assesment of functioning and disability
ICF TOOLS Full Version of ICF ICF Checklist WHO-DAS II ICF Core Sets
ICF Checklist Selection of the most relevant ICF categories (169 from 1494): Alterations in: body functions body structures Activities and participation Environmental factors Other information about environment Used by: clinical patients / relatives researchers
WHO-DAS II Assesses 6 domains: Understanding and communication Getting around Self-care Interpersonal interactions and relationships Daily activities Participation http://www.who.int/icidh/whodas/index.html
WP 4: Application of the ICF model in clinical and rehabilitation settings Objectives To demonstrate the applicability of ICF-linked measurement instruments, the ICF Checklist and the WHODAS II in a variety of clinical settings and by different professionals To evaluate the quality of care in patient clinical settings by using functioning levels as outcome indicators in a range of clinical conditions To evaluate disability profiles obtained from ICF-linked assessment instruments

Design: multicentre, transversal and longitudinal study METHOLOGY Design: multicentre, transversal and longitudinal study Dependent Variable: Functioning and disability (defined by the ICF model) Common Instruments for evaluation: Sociodemografic characteristics ICF-Checklist WHODAS-II SF-36 Disease-specific instruments for evaluation Time points of assessment: Baseline assessment 6 weeks 3 months
ICF Checklist and WHODAS II have good psychometric properties Objective 1: To demonstrate the validity and applicability of ICF-linked measurement instruments, the ICF Checklist and the WHODAS II in a variety of clinical settings ICF Checklist and WHODAS II have good psychometric properties Structural validity indicates that they are closely related to the underlying conceptual model (ICF) They have sensibility to change

Objective II : To evaluate the quality of care in patient clinical settings by using functioning levels as outcome indicators in a range of clinical conditions
DEPRESSION NORMAL MOOD MANIA HYPOMANIA MIXED EPISODE More than 6 months
Euthymic patients Functioning was impaired in at least 35 ICF categories in more than 75% of participants
The gap between clinical recovery and functional recovery
Euthymic patients Environmental Factors facilitators barriers attitudes of immediate family members and friends social norms practices and ideologies health services, systems and policies health professional support of family members and friends
Objective III: To evaluate disability profiles obtained from ICF-linked assessment instruments
Difference in proportions of Capacity, Performance, Barriers and Facilitators code counts for two Stroke patients compared with the average Stroke group profile
Uses of disability profiles Identifying gaps between Capacity and Performance .4 .3 .2 .1 .0 Performance Capacity = positive effect of environment
Uses of disability profiles Identifying gaps between Capacity and Performance .4 .3 .2 .1 .0 Performance Capacity = negative effect of environment
Recommendation 1 Diagnoses alone are not sufficient in clinical settings to guide care and management. MHADIE researchers recommend that the ICF model and its related instruments be used as complementary tools for: define person’s functioning identifying patient’s needs planning interventions, and evaluating clinical outcomes
Recommendation 2 Since MHADIE data have shown that the ICF notions of the patient’s capacity and performance play a crucial role in explaining the impact of a health condition on the person’s life, in a reliable and valid manner, MHADIE researchers recommend that ICF-based clinical instruments be developed for routine clinical use in order to assess both capacity and performance.
Recommendation 3 MHADIE research shows that environmental factors have an influence on patient’s performance independent of their capacity, MHADIE researchers therefore recommend that these factors be taken in account when assessing and planning clinical as well as social interventions. environmental factors should be taken into account when assessing and planning all interventions, both medical and social
Recommendation 4 MHADIE researchers recommend that the impact of disability must be assessed, not merely at the clinical level, but also at the level of the person’s social and economic participation. MHADIE project proves that information about interpersonal interactions, major life areas and community and social life, can be successfully collected and evaluated.
Recommendation 5 MHADIE researchers recommend that, in the clinical setting, the ICF model be used as a common language across levels of care and for different intervention purposes (prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, public health); ICF is useful as a common language across professions and for collecting information for multidisciplinary treatment.
