Comments
Zac, I will get in touch with the contact at the Royal College of Anaesthetists to clarify the scope of what is being requested. We have reviewed and added a number of anaesthesia related procedures to SNOMED CT over the years.
Zac, I have spoken to contact at RCoA. It's all to do with the development of the new College logbook for which they need a comprehensive but usable set of operative procedures, also clinical specialty and occupation descriptors (eg general surgeon). As we know, SNOMED can meet all of these requirements. The logbook will be cloud based, so there should not be any major problems with large but searchable reference files. However think there were a little worried in that there are more than 20000 terms in the procedure hierarchy. Their " gold standard" solution would I suppose be a refset of all surgical, radiology, radiotherapy etc etc procedures for which use of anaesthesia is possible. Are you aware of any work or requests to meet such a requirement. Will be having further discussions with the College about this.
Surgical procedures

UK Diagnostic Imaging Procedure Concepts subset

There are a number of anaesthesia for ... which may suit their needs better, as they are not undertaking the surgical procedure themselves and it would be important to avoid double counting.
Is this likely to be an international or national requirement? Catch up soon, any idea on timescales?
I have received a request regarding Anaesthetic procedures in the UK. Be grateful for feedback as to whether this is within the current scope of the refset work and/or whether any members of the group have been involved with any national projects of this type, particularly in the UK .
