TOPIC: Request for feedback: Definitions of Provision and Dispensing

Request for feedback: Definitions of Provision and Dispensing 5 years 7 months ago #5837

SNOMED International has received requests for addition of concepts in the procedure hierarchy that use the terms “provision” and “dispensing”.

Examples currently in SNOMED CT:
  • 713114000 |Provision of medication list (procedure)|
  • 713113006 |Provision of medication schedule (procedure)|
  • 713836000 |Provision of anticipatory care medication (procedure)|
  • 409021006 |Dispensing medication education (procedure)|
  • 409020007 |Dispensing medication assessment (procedure)|
  • 409022004 |Dispensing medication management (procedure)|
  • 7128000 |Provision of spectacles (procedure)|
  • 448792007 |Dispensing of spectacles (procedure)|
  • How do you define these terms, if you use them?
  • Is there a subtle difference in these terms or would these be considered duplicates?
  • We would like to determine if definitions vary across countries.
  • There are almost 240 concepts using 360273002 |Provision - action (qualifier value)| and less than ten concepts using 440338007 |Dispensing - action (qualifier value)|.
  • The Provision concept is a parent to the Dispensing concept. The Provision concept has an effective date of January 2002; the Dispensing concept has an effective date of January 2009. The term “supply” is sometimes used interchangeably in provision procedure concepts.

    • Please provide your feedback before May 1st, on this forum. Thank you!
