| Denmark | June 18th 2021 | We have not translated all occupation concepts and to my knowledge they are not in use in Denmark. | ||
| US | 20200706 | No evidence of use of any of the occupation codes in value sets from VSAC, which makes it difficult to comment on relevance for the US. This said, a few value sets use occupation codes (e.g., Care Team Member Function), but none of the codes from this particular list are. The list above is some kind of a subset and it is not entirely clear where it comes from. Is is one for real?
One more thought: Wondering whether we should align SNOMED CT to other existing standards in this domain, e.g., International Standard Classification of Occupations from the International Labour Organization. | ||
| Sweden | 20210708 | As far as we know the occupations in the list are not used in Sweden. | ||
| Canada | 20210720 | We do publish a Healthcare provider subset which is a subset of occupations. From that perspective, we know that occupations in healthcare are often specific to jurisdictions. CIHI is often used for their healthcare resources. For non-healthcare occupations, we refer to the National Occupational Classification published by Government of Canada that provides the "generic" occupations that are available in Canada: https://noc.esdc.gc.ca/ The list provided seems to include outdated content (milkman) or too specific occupations ( X draughtsman ). It would be worthed to clean it. | ||
