| Denmark | 20220519 | We know that our analysts would want this type of division, but our clinicians tell us that it is not possible to make this in practice. So the goupers are only useful if the do capture all. As you say this is not the case we would vote that they can be inactivated. |
| New Zealand | 20220607 | We agree that separating diagnostic from therapeutic intent is not practical. We agree these may be inactivated. |
| USA | 20220607 | Intent is generally not a key element in the description of procedures. (If something in the procedure is intent-specific, it should be described as a characteristic on its own.) This said, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are heavily used in value sets, in part because of the current hierarchical organization of SNOMED CT. Therefore, substantial work will be required to adjust to the proposed changes. |
