Presenter: Dr Hyeoun-Ae Park

Dr Hyeoun-Ae Park is the Emeritus Dean and a Professor at the College of Nursing and a Researcher at the Systems Biomedical Informatics Research Center, Seoul National University and previously served as President of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA).  Dr. Park is a champion for use of standardized terminologies and vocabularies and detailed clinical models in electronic health records. Her recent work involves healthcare big data analytics investigating ways to predict the occurrence of patient safety problems such as fall, pressure ulcer, and adverse drug reactions.

SNOMED CT and research – why should the SNOMED community and the research community care?

Speaker: Dr. Olivier Bodenreider

SNOMED CT offers a rich domain of application to informatics researchers interested in biomedical terminologies. However, research involving SNOMED CT is often performed independently from the SNOMED community. While standards development is generally anchored in pragmatism, Dr. Bodenreider explains how the SNOMED community would benefit from further engaging terminology researchers in the development and evaluation of SNOMED CT.

Dr. Hoa Ngo presented: Can Wikipedia (and NLP) Be Used to Derive an Open Clinical Terminology?

Clinical terminologies play an essential role in enabling semantic interoperability between medical records. However, existing terminologies have several issues that impact data quality, such as content gaps and slow updates. This presentation highlighted recent work exploring the suitability of existing, community-driven resources, such as Wikipedia, as a potential source to bootstrap open clinical terminologies for content coverage.

Dr. Ronald Cornet presents: SNOMED CT - OWL in a FAIR web of data.

Now that the OWL format provides the “source of truth” of the semantics of SNOMED CT concepts, the challenge lies in reaping the benefits of using these concepts in a semantic web of healthcare data.  In this way, SNOMED can drive interoperability, a key aspect of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data. This webinar will present principles, practice, pitfalls, and potential of this FAIR semantic web approach.
