An EMR alone is like a ‘dumb’ phone
Snomed CT is the internet of EMRs
It connects healthcare data across all entities
+
Allows very granular clinical data capture
Provides very powerful clinical analytics
It supports clinical decision support
… and is used in over 50 countries. It is the best clinical terminology system today
5
Let us see how it is better than existing
healthcare coding systems
Let us compare it with ICD-10

ICD is running out of codes
• Since code numbers are the main stay of classification, and the
number of diseases are very large in number, ICD is running out of
codes.
• Multiple disorders are being grouped under one code

Snomed CT has no limits on the codes that
can be used
No sharing of codes by two different conditions

Will SNOMED CT replace ICD-10?
Yes & No
• Clinical modules & analytics would benefit from SNOMED CT
• The medical records departments will continue ICD-10
17
Let us look at the nuts & bolts of SNOMED CT
18
These are four different conditions (clinical ideas)

Ischemic heart disease
Angina
Unstable angina
Myocardial infarction
Heart attack
Cardiac infarction

Each clinical idea is called a concept
19
Each concept has a random concept number

Thus…
• Each clinical idea is a concept and has a unique concept number
• Each concept number has multiple terms for it
• In different languages…
• There is no limit on the number of concepts. Hence different
conditions do not have to share the same code
• Concepts are connected to other concepts (parents / children)
independent of their codes – multiple relationships
• There are other relationships also, defining different properties of a
concept

How do multiple relationships help?

How relationships help in decision support
Pick up all cases of
cerebrovascular accident for
consideration for
thrombolytic therapy
Use it to identify
potential cohorts for
clinical trials for a new
breast cancer drug.
Warn if the patient has any type
of diabetes AND any type of
kidney disease
34
How is it used in a hospital’s EMR?
35
The hospital’s EMR software

Leveraging relationships

How will clinicians benefit from it?

ICD-10 has very limited search – no synonyms
• The doctor may search for any of these terms for the same diagnosis
•
•
•
•
•
•
Renal calculus
Renal stone
Nephrolith
Calculus in kidney
Kidney stone
Kidney calculus
• Only the term Calculus in Kidney exists in ICD-10
• Such issues are present with most diagnosis
No abbreviations in ICD-10
• The doctor may search by typing
• COPD
• MI
• IHD
ICD-10 terms are not appropriate for printing
What the doctor wants to write
What is available in ICD-10 tables – prints as such
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Unspecified
Ureterocele
Other specified disorders of kidney and ureter
Neonatal tetanus
Other tetanus
Achlorhydria
Other specified diseases of stomach and duodenum
Recurrent appendicitis
Other appendicitis
Indirect inguinal hernia
Inguinal hernia
Direct inguinal hernia
Inguinal hernia
Strangulated inguinal hernia
Hepatic encephalopathy
Unilateral or unspecified inguinal hernia, with obstruction,
without gangrene
Hepatic failure, not elsewhere classified
Bird flu (H5N1)
Influenza due to certain identified influenza virus
Swine flu (H1N1).

Summary
• Snomed CT is the terminology that supports the EMR. On its own it
does nothing
• It is very clinician friendly
• It is multilingual
• It allows very powerful data analytics
• It augments decision support capabilities of an EMR
