OVERVIEW

This paper provides a brief review of the development and use of the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) in primary care research as well as examines the use of the coding structure in the DELPHI Project. Challenges to the use of the ICPC in the DELPHI Project and subsequent lessons learned are also presented with the hope that those with similar interests might learn from our work.
