Three internationally recognized systems have been devised for classifying presenting problems in general practice. They are: the Royal College of General Practitioners' (1963) classification, the US Ambulatory Medical Care Classification of Symptoms (NAMCS), and the World Organization of Colleges and Academies of General Practice/Family Medicine (WONCA, 1976) classification which is known as An International Classification of Health Problems of Primary Care (ICHPPC).These three systems were compared in over 8,000 consultations conducted by 81 randomly selected British general practitioners in Nottinghamshire.For all ages of patient, the NAMCS, which has only 197 categories, was the most specific, and the least specific was the classification of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
已经设计出三种国际公认的系统来对全科医疗中的就诊问题进行分类。它们分别是:皇家全科医师学院(1963年)的分类系统、美国门诊医疗症状分类系统(NAMCS)以及世界全科/家庭医学院校协会(WONCA,1976年)的分类系统,即《基层医疗健康问题国际分类》(ICHPPC)。在诺丁汉郡随机挑选的81位英国全科医生进行的8000多次会诊中,对这三种系统进行了比较。对于所有年龄段的患者来说,只有197个类别的NAMCS最为具体,而最不具体的是皇家全科医师学院的分类系统。
