To report on the process of implementation and dissemination of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) [1] in Italy.
The Agenzia Regionale della Sanità of Friuli Venezia Giulia Region (ARSFVG) is a WHO Collaborating Centre for the Family of International Classifications. It collaborated with Italian research institutions such as the C. Besta Neurological Institute IRCCS Foundation, the Medea Institute, and the National Institute of Statistics in revising, field testing and validating the ICF in Italy and in the preparation of ICF-CY (Children and Youth Version).
The value of ICF profiles in defining personalised programmes of interventions was explored by evaluating the link between ICF items and the UN Convention, which was taken as a criterion of clear ethical and political orientation in the evaluation of the disability condition. The first and main effort of ICF implementation was directed in the field of public health and welfare policies. Two main nationwide projects were launched: ICF and the labour polices in 2003 and ICF and the disability certification reforms in 2006. ICF also received a strong attention by the professional working in the school system, and was used to define the functioning profile of children and to establish personalised educational programmes.
The implementation of ICF in Italy was strongly facilitated by a favourable cultural and scientific context.
报告《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（ICF）[1]在意大利的实施和传播过程。
弗留利-威尼斯朱利亚地区卫生局（ARSFVG）是世界卫生组织国际分类家族合作中心。它与意大利的研究机构合作，如 C. Besta 神经学研究所基金会、Medea 研究所和国家统计局，在意大利修订、现场测试和验证 ICF 并编写 ICF-CY（儿童和青少年版）方面进行了合作。
通过评估 ICF 项目与《联合国公约》之间的联系，探索了 ICF 概况在定义个性化干预计划中的价值，《联合国公约》被视为评估残疾状况时明确的伦理和政治方向的标准。ICF 实施的第一个也是主要的努力是在公共卫生和福利政策领域。2003 年启动了两个主要的全国性项目：ICF 和劳动政策，以及 2006 年的 ICF 和残疾认证改革。ICF 还受到学校系统专业人员的高度关注，并用于定义儿童的功能概况和制定个性化的教育计划。
ICF 在意大利的实施得到了有利的文化和科学背景的大力推动。
