New SNOMED codes for GPs to accurately record a patients wish to dissent from receiving research invitations from their GP practice
New SNOMED codes for GPs to accurately record a patients wish to dissent from receiving research invitations from their GP practice
Historically, GPs have not had a code available to use should a patient dissent from receiving invitations to research opportunities directly from their GP practice. This resulted in many different codes being applied to record such a patient decision that were not accurately reflective of the decision taken. The PRIDES hub were tasked with compiling an application for a new code to be used specifically for this purpose, resulting in a successful process enabling the creation of two new SNOMED clinical codes.
