Add "Opinion" ? Also "Rehabilitation" ? What current types of referrals exist? Jeremy Rogers to provide. | ||
| code | < 71388002 |Procedure (procedure)| | Some confusion here about the fact that a request for a procedure is a referral. However, we also have referral concepts within procedures (although Jeremy pointed out that it is possible to have one party (eg optometrist) request that another party (eg GP) make a referral). |
| orderDetail | The example here gives further detail to the service being requested. However, it is already possible to be as specific a SNOMED allows via the "code" element above. The use of this field when working with SNOMED CT concepts is not clear. |
