We need an operationalisation, not a definition of health.

CONCLUSIONS: The ICF provides both the frame of reference for an operationalisation of health that satisfies the intuitive understanding of what matters to people about their health and the technical tools for both health sciences and practice. Implications for rehabilitation An operationalisation of health is essential to describe the relative health status of individuals and populations as well as to measure the impact of rehabilitation interventions. An operationalisation of health focuses on the lived experience of health. The International Classification of Health, Functioning and Disability (ICF) is the ideal framework to operationalise the lived experience of health.
