Operational context
NSW Health, FirstNet and other adopters
SNOMED CT & Emergency Department Reference Set (EDRS)
Activity Based Funding (MDBs and URGs)
Wider context
• PCEHR
• E health
• Health reform agenda
A Reminder: Why are we doing Terminology?
It’s about Data Quality and Interoperability

How to use SNOMED CT in ABF
Proposal
Build a clinically relevant EDRS
Don’t rely on maps
Aggregate SNOMED CT directly to MDB
Swap out the library files
Development experiment
Build a better EDRS
Find SNOMED CT concept that ‘matches’ MDB
Inherit all descendants (subsumption)
Manage membership, aggregation and versioning
Use proper tooling (Snorocket, Snapper, Ontoserver)
Transitive closure & transitive closure reduction algorithms
Directed Acyclic Graph traversal algorithms, rule based
Proof of concept
Trial with two MDBs
3L: Gynaecological Illness
4: Psychiatric Illness
Tertiary
Primary
Secondary
MDB 3L
Gynaecological Illness
Concepts = 1 568
Paths = 6 492
MDB 4
Psychiatric Illness
Concepts = 1 536
Paths = 3 936
How it would work
Library file
SNOMED CT – EDRS to MDB
OR
Library file
ICD to MDB
OR
Getting there from here
 New approach to terminology management & tools
 New EDRS required
 Adequate and accurate specifications
 Sufficient documentation, content and technical
 Clinical user acceptance testing
 Data testing, with queries and analytic approaches
 Published test results
Key messages
Secondary and tertiary data can be driven by clinical data
Mapping not sustainable
Version management essential
Align with and exploit e-health initiatives
