Minutes of previous meeting

Matters arising from the minutes

SNOMED updates

QI work at SNOMED is a significant priority at the moment, and will proceed over the next few releases of SNOMED. Other work may be afforded lower priority during this time.

2Anesthesia Quality Institute (US) National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry (NACOR) requesting comment on Data Definitions

NACOR DATA DEFINITIONS – https://www.aqihq.org/AQI-Definitions-Comments.aspx 

The comment period ends on February 1, 2019. The data dictionary will be published in Spring 2019, for use later in the year.

AQI have reviewed terminology including dental terminology and e-PreOp and provided new definitions so that they may be incorporated in NACOR. The comment/ review process is ongoing (see the link above), and public comments are sought by 1st February.

Paediatric terminology is under review and a new adult term "Myocardial Injury" has been included. Introduction of "Myocardial Injury" has required an update of the term "Myocardial Infarction".

Scales to describe cooperative behaviour (e.g. Frankl) were discussed, and terms such as "pre-cooperative behaviour" were noted. These are also proposed for inclusion.

The term "Troponin Leak" was discussed, and it was noted that this term may be widely used in some clinical situations. However, raised Troponin levels are not yet considered sufficiently specific/ predictive by many for everyday diagnostic use.

More detailed timing descriptions are noted for analysing theatre usage, e.g. "toes in" and "toes out". We believe that many, if not all, of these will be represented in SNOMED already.

All comments on the proposed inclusions are welcome.
