VeNom is a system to provide a standard set of 'code' for conditions, diagnosis and treatment. It is hoped these codes will be adopted across the profession to allows 'cross practice' comparision.
This is handled within Premvet via protocols and the use of the [Venom tag. The Venom code is added to each clinical line, this code is independant of the Analysis Code and the Transaction number. It is expected that this venom code will work closely with the [Transaction tag and can be used to code the case as it goes along.
As this is an on-going project the tag usage may change as it evolves. The Codes are broken down into containers (groupings) to make is easy to select.
We have included a sample script VENOM Usage - this is the test script we are using, it has examples of all the building blocks in it, however, it is of no practical use as it stands. It may give you ideas of what is possible.
[VENOM X, TEXT]
| X | Container ID, if set to '0' will include all Containers. |
| TEXT | Text to search for, cannot be blank. |
| Note: The 'text' will be scanned for CID and ANSWER - the system will replace 'CID' with the container ID and ANSWER with the results of the last question. |
The [LOOKUP tag, if passed '100' as the option it will 'lookup' the container ID. This will be available as the reserved word CID.
The [SHOW tag has the following additions:
| [SHOW CID] | Container ID |
| [SHOW CONTAINER] | Container description |
| [SHOW DDID] | VENOM code (Numeric) |
| [SHOW VENOM] | Venom Term |
The [CLINICAL tag, when adding clinical work the line will be checked for:
| DDID | Add the Venom Term (Numeric) |
| CID | Add the Container ID |
If you want the clinical line given the venom code then use:
[Clinical XX text ::DDID
The ::DDID will not appear on the screen but the line will be given that coding.
| SETV CID | Set container ID directly |
| SETV VENOM | Set VENOM code directly. |
