Points to Cover
• Background – SNOMED CT
• Note on dm+d
• Current Activity
• Possible Actions
What ?
• Standardised set of ‘commonly’ used clinical phrases that
nationally applicable
– Supports all healthcare specialisms
– Supports internationally leading specialists
• Can be used in paper and electronic records
– In electronic records is also coded
And more ...
• The standardised phrases are part of a managed
knowledge base
– Type of infectious disease
– Is-a procedure
– Is-a diagnosis
• Enables more sophisticated analytics, more intelligent
EHR systems, links to pathways, links to knowledge
resources, ...
Incorporates other
standards & scales:
• SNOMED CT incorporates existing standards & scales:
– Glasgow coma scale
– Assessment using arthritis hand function test
– Lung volume test
– Falls Risk Assessment Score for the Elderly (FRASE)
– Waterlow pressure sore
• Note. The Intellectual property needs to be owned by the NHS or the
user when used in practice.
Why?
• Standardised record keeping
• Communication between and amongst professions
• Communication between systems in consistent coded
format
• Single coded format supports decision support, business
processes, reporting, analysis, ...
Why? -Interoperable
• With an agreed structure, data can be passed from one system to
another and be ‘UNDERSTOOD’ by that system, but only if we use
structured records and a common terminology

reference many
Share-ability
