A004 specialities and clinic types

e-Referral Service (e-RS)
1

I work for online/community provider (Virtually Healthcare) and we are looking at using eRS FHIR API.

We and the primary care systems we write back to, use UK SNOMED CT for services/procedure codes - I believe this is close to clinic types.
For speciality we are following NHS England Data Dictionary Main Specialty (we can consider using UK SNOMED CT for this.)

Does eRS have mappings of it’s local codes to UK SNOMED CT and/or NHS Data Dictionary?

Hi @kevin.mayfield1 - Can I just clarify the type of mapping you’re after here please?

In e-RS we map specialties to a Treatment Function Code (TFC) and these may align to Main Specialty Code in the Data Dictionary.

For example, the specialty ‘Urology’ is currently mapped to a code of 101.

The full set of codes can be accessed via the publicly available EBSX03 report

Thanks,
Z.
