As it is highly likely that a surge of adults with COVID-19 will be treated on PICUs we have reviewed our data collection and for any patient overseen/managed by adult critical care teams , irrespective of location, data should be collected for the ICNARC case mix programme rather than PICANet.

The PICANet team is working towards the introduction of the SNOMED CT coding system on PICANet Web. This development is directed by the NHS Paper ‘Personalised Health and Care 2020: A Framework for Action’ which endorses a move to adopt a single clinical terminology- SNOMED CT by April 2020.
The Royal College of Paediatric and Child Health speciality groups are in the process of developing a subset of SNOMED-CT concepts relevant to their special interest. A PIC subgroup had been established with membership including clinicians from PICS UK and members of the PICANet team. A dataset including SNOMED codes specific to PIC and cardiac specialities will be developed and uploaded to the PICANet Web clinical coder.
Initially availability of READ codes will be maintained on PICANet Web to allow units to submit data using either coding system.
More details regarding the PICANet Annual Meeting 2019 have been made available.
Information is available on the 2019 Annual Meeting page.
