Duplicate concepts

Clinical Reference Groups Nursing CRG
1

Hi all,

Two CRS requests have been received relating to potential duplication of content.

Request 1: The concepts 1230095007 |Training for eating and drinking (procedure)| and 290049007 |Feeding practice (regime/therapy)| have been raised as potential duplicates. From a nursing perspective what do each of these concepts represent? If these are duplicates, which terming is better phrasing for nurses?

This query will also be taken to the Nutrition and Dietetics Clinical Reference Group.

Request 2: The concepts 290044002 |Dressing practice (regime/therapy)| and 1230094006 |Training for dressing activity (procedure)| have been raised as potential duplicates. From a nursing perspective what do each of these concepts represent? If these are duplicates, which terming is better phrasing for nurses?

Please add your comments below.

Thank you,

Cathy

AI Definition: Training is the structured, deliberate process of learning new skills or improving biological/technical capacity (e.g., strength, technique). Practice is the repetition of existing skills to achieve mastery, fluency, or consistency. Essentially, training changes your ability, while practice applies or reinforces it.

Discussed at the April Nursing CRG.

Training and practice are seen as different in meaning. Both concepts are needed. Training is something done once and practice something that is repeated. The semantic tags used by the respective concepts align with this e.g. training is a procedure.

The regime concepts are subtypes of 84478008 |Occupational therapy (regime/therapy)| yet they may under undertaken by other health professionals as well. Further input from an OT will be requested by a member of the Swedish NRC.

Questions were raised on the clarity of meaning of the concept 290049007 |Feeding practice (regime/therapy)|- who is the subject?

Comments: The concepts << 84478008 |Occupational therapy (regime/therapy)| need review, but that is out of scope for this item.

Ticket will be left open for now given the potential feedback from the OT.
