These should be used to record all diagnoses of the patient being submitted, ideally using SNOMED.

Where you wish to communicate a “Negative” Diagnosis set Diagnosis to be the condition which the patient does not have (such as Diabetes) and then VerificationStatus to “Refuted”.

If possible we would also like to capture where a Diagnosis has been subsequently changed. In these cases the VerificationStatus shoud be set to “Refuted” or “Entered-In-Error” and continue to be sent to the UKRDC, alongside the superceeding Diagnsosis.
