This is an afternoon event.

Times: 15:00 - 16:00

Zoom Registration 14:45, training 15:00 - 16:00

Overview:

Codes are pivotal to every piece of data we enter into our clinical systems. They determine:

• Patient’s past medical history
• Patient’s on-going clinical care
• Clinical governance
• Income

Because of this, it is essential that everyone who enters patient data has received the appropriate training. The introduction of SNOMED Codes will result in all members of staff who enter data needing update training - this is a very different coding structure to what we are used to and will result in data being entered differently. This seminar will also touch on data quality & validation techniques to help ensure the accuracy of patient data.

Who should attend?

All members of staff who enter coded data into patient records - this webinar is primarily aimed at non-clinical staff. This is a basic coding session but as SNOMED codes are still relatively new for all Primary Care staff, this session applies to all users.

How will this webinar benefit you?

This webinar will ensure all delegates grasp the key messages around SNOMED Clinical Terms, why they are important & how inconsistent data entry will affect patient care & safety as well as practice income. There will be an opportunity for delegates to ask questions throughout, however, this is not a hands-on session.

SNOMED Webinar Agenda:

• Why Use Codes?
• What is SNOMED CT?
• Finding SNOMED Codes
• Entering SNOMED Codes
• Data Quality & Data Validation
• Q & A
