Batch Template Changes

2021-Aug-25

The information on this page covers the updated version of the Batch Template available in the next release of both the International CRS and the US CRS from Sep 2, 2021. The current template will no longer work from that date onwards, although if used, you will receive a warning message to indicate this.

As part of ongoing development and maintenance, the batch template has been updated. The current batch template has been in use since the use of the previous content request systems (SIRS) and an update to align with new processes and systems has been overdue. Most changes in the template have aligned the template to the fields used in the current Content Requests as part of https://snomed.atlassian.net/browse/CRS-688.

The new batch templates can be downloaded from:

International CRS

Changes

In most cases, any changes are additive, so you will be able to copy & paste any content from the older template into the new ones attached here.
