About
Description
A codelist that helps identify patients that have had an online consultation instance, in the context of the roll-out of online consultations in primary care.
(Not to be used in itself to tally number of online consultations as unit)
Methodology
The general approach was to:
a) browse the SNOMED CT Term Browser for relevant keywords * and children . Find its CTV3 equivalent (refset), if listed;
b) browse the "Read CTV3 to SNOMED CT Mapping Lookup (April 2020)" for relevant keywords * and children;
c) Browse local TPP codes - see link below.
c) browse the literature, online resources and white publications for further code indications;
d) obtain clinical input on initially found codes of interest, as well as further codes;
e) for the latter two steps, if codes given in SNOMED, attempt to find their CTV3 equivalent.
Caveats: - Coding of online consultations is likely not a) widespread and exhaustive; b) standardised (incl because of different pathways and dispositions); c) defined by a standalone code (could need querying with other codes or looking at annotations) - Not all codes found in SNOMED may have a CTV3 equivalent.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
