NHSD Recommendations / Requests
- ANZSIC for service classification is not granular enough to support real-world service discovery.
- SNOMED provides some degree of coverage, however not all service types required (and available under NEHTA HI-Service) have been defined, covered as part of the "Services" tree. Additional Services to be aligned with HI-Service - Healthcare Provider Organisation Service Units.
- recommendation is to introduce a handful of key concept groups under "services" (224930009), these are to cover eg.:
- Aged care services
It may be a good idea to have SNOMED adopt a specific qualifier type eg. Service for these concept types, rather than just "qualifier value"
Extract from NEHTA HI-Service classification document:
All service units’ codes are based on the existing ANZSIC codes. The codes
descriptions are taken from VIC DHS PCP Directory and NSW HERO Services.
NEHTA recognises ANZSIC’s codes’ limitations. NEHTA’s vision is to use
SNOMED terminology for the specification of healthcare services. The
following classification will serve as a foundation for the SNOMED
development work.
