title: Conversion of an administrative record system for compatibility with the ICIDH.
abstract: This paper presents an account of considerations relevant to conversion of data in an administrative record system into categories compatible with the ICIDH. Existing information recorded for the Swiss disablement insurance scheme fairly readily generates impairment and disability data relating to the time of first contact with the scheme, and the means for conversion are illustrated. The system does not generate data relevant to handicap.
