Towards Knowledge management in General Practice & Family Medicine; Guide to the indexing of master thesis.

The Francophone Coordination Center for Training in General Practice (CCFFMG) (www.ccffmg.be)(French) is in charge of organizing the public release of the End-of-Study works (Master thesis) in General Practice/Family Medicine (GP/FM) . This work is carried out at the end of the Master of Specialty of the Departments of General Practice of the Free University of Brussels (ULB), the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL) and the University of Liège (ULg). A dedicated website (www.mgtfe.be) offers an online copywriting guide. This site provides also a description and instruction manual for a GP/FM indexing system discussed in this document. This experimental system, based on the assembly of the International Classification of Primary Care, second version (ICPC-2), and a new contextual classification called Q-Codes version 2.5 is intended to help the manual indexation of the Master Thesis. The package, called Core Content Classification in GP/FM (3CGP), is now available in 8 languages (en-fr-nl-es-pt-vi-ko-tr) on the multilingual web site of Department of Medical Information and Medical Informatics (B2IM) of the University of Rouen (www.hetop.eu/q) together with a companion site (http://3cgp.woncaeurope.org) (in English). Family physician will be asked to choose a number of proposed codes to index their jobs at the time of online filing. The publishing site will be equipped with a search module based on the 3CGP indexing system. An evaluation of the system of indexing by the users is organized
