| US | 17AUG2021 | Summary: No objection to removing the intent from "diagnostic endoscopy" codes. Analysis: There is evidence of some "diagnostic endoscopy" codes in some value sets from the Value Set Authority Center (VSAC). For example: 232516003 Diagnostic endoscopy of nose and sinuses (procedure) SNOMEDCT 2021-03 2.16.840.1.113883.6.96 However, this broad value set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.88.12.80.28) seems to contain all 59k procedures and does not represent specific use of these concepts. There are also "diagnostic endoscopy" codes in the value set Specimen Collection Method (2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1062.5), including: 176178006 Diagnostic cystoscopy (procedure) SNOMEDCT 2021-03 2.16.840.1.113883.6.96 In this case, the "diagnostic" aspect does not seem essential to the specimen collection process. Finally, procedures other than endoscopy are sometimes reflective of an intent, e.g.: 236954006 Diagnostic amniocentesis with fluid replacement (procedure) SNOMEDCT 2021-03 2.16.840.1.113883.6.96 Should these be reviewed as well in a subsequent round of QA to remove intent from procedures? |
| Belgium | 23AUG2021 | Inactivition (and replacing) of the concepts including the intention of colonoscopy procedures (diagnostic/therapeutic) will not affect the Belgian release at this point in time. |
| Sweden | 13SEPT2021 | |
| Australia | 13SEPT2021 | There are no content or implementation issues on the Australian side arising from this proposed amendment to the modelling. We do note that we have several AU concepts that will be affected and this will be addressed from our side. Some of the affected concepts do appear in some of our third party reference sets. We will update the owners of the refsets once these changes are implemented. The proposed change does not affect any NCTS FHIR value set definitions. |
