Country response
Country | Date | Response | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
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. | ||
