An initial set of SNOMED CT codes to support the management of the long term effects of COVID 19 are now available. They correspond to:
- Diagnostic categories
- Referral and signposting
- Assessment instruments and outcome measures
- Community care and self care options
Knowledge about Long COVID is currently limited and evolving; the more we can use these codes, the more understanding we're likely to gain over time.
Further guidance on the management of the long-term effects of COVID 19 is available from both NICE and NHS England and NHS Improvement.
