Future Clinical Coding on PICANet Web
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.
PICANet Dataset Update
PICANet introduced the new data fields to admissions dataset on 1st January 2018. All units were asked to collected these additional items by this date.
A revised import schema is available from Lee Norman, Database Manager email: [email protected]
