In this episode of Healthcare NOW Radio, host Michelle Bedore welcomes Dr. Patricia Salibi, a global health and disability leader, to explore the WHO Family of International Classifications—ICD-11, ICF, and ICHI—and how they can revolutionize patient-centered care through integrated data. The discussion unpacks how ICD-11 serves as the global standard for diagnosing diseases with enhanced digital flexibility, capturing severity, laterality, and social determinants. ICF shifts focus from disease to functioning, assessing how health conditions impact daily life, mobility, participation, and environmental barriers. ICHI, the newest addition, standardizes coding for health interventions—from physical therapy to public health campaigns—enabling cross-country comparison and outcome tracking. Together, these systems offer a holistic, interoperable framework that moves beyond diagnosis to prioritize patient function and lived experience. Dr. Salibi shares a deeply personal story of her daughter’s recovery after a traumatic accident, illustrating how aligning care with patient desires—like washing her hair—can become a powerful motivator for rehabilitation, proving that data-driven systems must be human-centered to succeed.
ICD-11 enables precise, digital-first coding of diseases with extensions for severity, laterality, and social determinants.
ICF provides a holistic view of how health conditions affect functioning, participation, and environmental factors.
ICHI standardizes interventions across clinical, preventive, and public health domains, enabling global outcome tracking.
Integrating ICD-11, ICF, and ICHI creates a patient-centered data ecosystem that supports personalized care and policy.
Real-world motivation—like a patient’s desire to wash their hair—can drive recovery more effectively than clinical checklists.

Introducing the WHO Family of Classifications
Michelle Bedore welcomes Dr. Patricia Salibi to explore the three core WHO classification systems: ICD-11, ICF, and ICHI, and their transformative potential in patient-centered care.
ICD-11: The Digital Future of Disease Coding
Dr. Salibi explains how ICD-11 modernizes disease classification with digital-first design, extension codes, and enhanced detail on severity, laterality, and social determinants.
ICF: Measuring Functioning and Participation
“What really matters to people is how their life is going to be affected, how it is impacted by that health condition and what can be done about it.”
ICHI: Standardizing Health Interventions
“We're able to capture these codes, procedure otherwise that we might also find in like the PCS or the CPT systems, but have it in one area.”
Real-World Integration: A Stroke Patient’s Journey
“This is the future of healthcare. This is the future of bringing technology and data together with patient user priorities, desires, right?”
“That was the motivation to get her to actually walk those steps down the hall... That's what she needed.”
