20260506 BN Revision of sepsis caused by organism modelling and descriptions v2.0.pdf (259.1 KB)
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for the updated briefing note.
I would like to add one item to the Proposed Changes section of the document. Any concepts needed to represent the Due to value that is missing from the terminology will be authored at the time of this work so that the sepsis concepts may be authored as sufficiently defined.
With that one exception, the U.S. agrees with the scope of work and does not have any additional feedback at this time.
Thanks
John
Hi Sarah,
This proposal looks sound. These changes will affect the Netherlands, as we have authored 8 concepts that will need to be replaced in the same way. When SNOMED International makes these changes, could you send the specific timing to our NRC in advance, so we can replace our concepts for publication in the same (monthly) edition?
Thanks @jsnyder. I like your suggestion and we can aim to sufficiently define as many concepts as possible as the work progresses. We can also look into the creation of new concepts for modelling and author them where it makes sense to do so.
Best wishes, Sarah
Thanks for your comment @fhielkema. Yes, I will make a note to do so.
Best wishes, Sarah
