Transforming Healthcare: Exploring the ICF Framework

TCN Talks

What if there was a tool that could transform the way we deliver healthcare? That’s the question we explore with Dr. Harry Feliciano and Rhonda Oaks in this riveting discussion about the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Dr. Feliciano, a seasoned geriatrician and former senior medical director, brings a rich history of experience in public health and preventive medicine to the table. He shares invaluable insights from his time on the front line of healthcare, as well as his personal journey as a family caregiver.
On the other hand, Rhonda, a certified hospice and palliative care nurse, divulges her expertise on classification systems in healthcare. She illustrates how the ICF can be instrumental in stratifying dementia patients, tracking health outcomes, and considering the impact of social determinants and family care on a patient's prognosis. We also venture into some forward-thinking ideas about the integration of artificial intelligence and digital media with the ICF to capture classes of information. Listen in, it's not every day you get to peek into the future of healthcare delivery.
