The method for determining the value of the index of caring complexity (ICC) is a multi-dimensional capable of resolving the problem of assessing the complexity of care. The fields of application of ICC methodology are multidisciplinary. The ICC method was applied in hospitals and territorial services and could also be useful for free professionals. Methodology is part and parcel of the caring process and does not therefore require specific data collection for classifying patients but the "scores " derive directly from the data flow obtained during the caring process.
