Your IPC level
The IPC level is the WHO band your total score falls into: Inadequate, Basic, Intermediate or Advanced.
The band and its description are WHO’s, reproduced as published. IPC360 does not add levels of its own, and does not move the boundaries.
- 0 to 200: Inadequate.
- 201 to 400: Basic.
- 401 to 600: Intermediate.
- 601 to 800: Advanced.
When the level is withheld
If too little of the assessment was answered, or too many indicators were marked not applicable, IPC360 shows the level as indicative or withholds it, and says why. A band computed from a half-answered questionnaire would be a misleading number, and presenting one to a hospital board would be worse than presenting none.
