Denmark | Dec 20 2017 | Not in use in DK. | |||
UK | Jan 03 2018 | Frequent use in the UK in both Primary and Secondary care. | |||
Used in monitoring conditions, mental health therapies etc. Primary care stats attached and this content is also heavily used in subsets. This hierarchy could usefully do with a tidy up as there are some instances that are not regime/therapies but procedures. Nursing clinical reference group may be able to help with some of this as regime/therapy content is frequently used in Care Planning and would be a useful stakeholder for input I would think. | |||||
AU | Jan 10 2018 | Unable to get specific usage statistics, but the codes are certainly in use, particularly for allied health. We've added about 150 in the past 4 months. The concepts are problematic, but necessary. From the requests we received (and looking at what's in SNOMED CT alread) it's often not possible to sufficiently define... A number probably linked to national health policy. Looking at the extension concepts being used by the UK, I'm considering pulling many of those (premptively) into the AU release too... | |||
NZ | 22Jan18 | There was a wide request for information regrading the question. The major response regarded an initiative to code indications for drug treatment. regime/therapy (and procedure) are commonly used for this project which is far from complete. Major regime/therapy concepts used include: 229554006 Combination therapy (regime/therapy); 110461004 Adjunctive care (regime/therapy); 103735009 Palliative care (regime/therapy); 713700008 Smoking cessation drug therapy (regime/therapy); 717778001 Mouth care (regime/therapy); 48556005 Oral nutritional support (regime/therapy). Agree with above that there could be a "tidy up". | |||
CA | Jan 24 2018 | CA stakeholders were asked but no feedback was received. As a result, we don't know if these are use and the frequency. | |||
US | Jan 24 2018 | No specific concerns from US | |||
