A query has been submitted regarding the meaning of concepts related to device care such as 423687009 |Peripheral intravenous catheter care (regime/therapy)| and 310489004 |Care of hemodialysis equipment (regime/therapy)|. Part of the query includes the need to clarify if these concepts are intended to represent device care outside the patient’s care. Many of these concepts are subtypes of 309637002 |Care of equipment categorised by device (regime/therapy)|. Input on this topic is being sought from the Nursing CRG.
Cathy, the Clinical Care Classification has the mapped nursing intervention Code 79.1 Intravenous Care Definition: “Actions performed to support the use of infusion equipment” mapped to 423687009 |Peripheral intravenous catheter care (regime/therapy)| and also 59.1 Hemodialysis Care Definition: “Actions performed to support the mechanical removal of waste products from the blood” to Care of hemodialysis equipment (regime/therapy)|. The first definition aligns with the care of the device but the CCC Hemodialysis Care is discussing the process and not the equipment. I’m not sure what we would update our mapping to in SNOMED.
