The editorial guide is not a comprehensive list of anatomic regions
Examine SNOMED International browser to check eye structure concepts (1500 concepts) - Sally and Shahin
Sally will share OMOP medical imaging workgroup info
Looking at glaucoma procedures (and potentially medications?)
Ian has already started looking at procedures
Not sure if brand name devices/implants can be named?
Cardiac stent example: code the generic procedure, then devices named in individual country extensions
Brand name procedure more useful in glaucoma
Medications
unclear what the overlap is with RxNorm - may not need to replicate
branded products coded separately by country (generic medications coded in SNOMED international)
Just an example of a generic product in SNOMED: 408614000 |Product containing precisely latanoprost 50 microgram/1 milliliter and timolol (as timolol maleate) 5 milligram/1 milliliter conventional release eye drops (clinical drug)|
May not necessarily be needed? (current coding may be comprehensive enough)
Field for number of glaucoma medications? vs. derived data element? – issue of updating med list, also issue of whether pt is actually taking the medication (medication adherence coding?)
Procedures - UK group
Elaine will look into feasibility of coding specific device names
