Question from CLSI | Yes | Working on a document for proper collection of respiratory specimens for microbiology testing and one of our member shared the coding below with us. https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/1915519082/How-To-Collect-NMT-Specimen-for-COVID-19.pdf?api=v2; https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/1915519082/NMT-Specimen-Collection-Infographic.pdf?api=v2 She has a number of concerns about the coding, the tests and what we are calling the specimen collection. Here is the link for SNOMED Coding: https://browser.ihtsdotools.org/?perspective=full&conceptId1=181203001&edition=MAIN/2023-03-31&release=&languages=en Example: Anterior nares (both anterior nares) which makes sense since both sides should be sampled. - add synonym for anterior nasal cavity swab Example: middle turbinate instead of mid-turbinate - it is modeled to point to the middle turbinate - we need to update that to be a new term for the mid-section (on the anterior/posterior axis) of the cavity between hard palate and the inferior turbinate structure - it goes to the middle of it| Swab specmen from nasal mid-turbinate We also have description for NP Swab (along the top of the ): Anterior nose swab (squamous epithelial vs respiratory epithelial (which is what is getting infected): https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/testing/How-To-Collect-Anterior-Nasal-Specimen-for-COVID-19.pdf add synonym for anterior nasal cavity swab)So we ned to update the modeling |
