Use of ICNP absence terms

As part of the ICNP work there are a number of terms relating to the absence of something where a new SNOMED concept would be required to represent the meaning.

These include:

• No Aggressive Behaviour
• No Alcohol Abuse
• No Aspiration
• No Bleeding
• No Complication During Child Delivery
• No Confusion
• No Deep Vein Thrombosis
• No Denial
• No Dizziness
• No Drug Abuse
• No Elopement
• No Fall
• No Fall-Related Injury
• No Fatigue
• No Hospital Acquired Complication
• No Infection
• No Injury
• No Laser Injury
• No Perinatal Complication
• No Perioperative Injury
• No Perioperative Positioning Injury
• No Peripheral Oedema
• No Postpartum Complication
• No Pressure Ulcer
• No Sedation
• No Self Destructive Behaviour
• No Self Mutilation

Please note the wording in a SNOMED concept may vary from the ICNP term and additional synonyms could potentially be added within an extension to support use. For example: No Perioperative Positioning Injury may be represented in SNOMED as |No injury due to perioperative positioning (situation)|

To support inclusion in the International edition of SNOMED we need additional information on how these meanings would be used within an electronic health record. For example, would do they be used as part of an assessment form (perhaps a terminological interpretation of a check box on a form) or would they be recorded independently. If they are recorded independently then use cases would also support their addition.
