Description

Related to ticket #853 which concerns the maintenance, content and features of ATC codes, we also had a look at the features of procedure codes which are used for coding the medication.

Following features are used in Finnish version to describe the use of medication:

The procedure codes are mainly used for coding the cytostatic therapy, some are used to code complex medication and other medication.

As a result, we suggest a few changes in Finnish version (see attached TC for details).

No economical analysis was conducted. This case is about clinical description of the features.
