    Pacode Back Pacode Vendor Overview At pacode we deeply believe in the advancements SNOMED CT introduces into the world of medical data as it enables medical documentation to be machine understandable, so clinicians receive information they need when they need it. Our projects focus on healthcare software, and we enable our customers to use the best technologies to their problems taking into account not only the development of new systems, but also the efforts that will be needed to maintain it. We have a strong expertise in machine learning and big data solutions that in the clinical environment might relate to medical coding systems and looking for patterns in big datasets of unstructured documentation. For us AI is something more than the very popular field machine learning. There exists a whole set of use cases that might benefit from development of expert systems that help clinicians with decision-making while diagnosing patients. We have applied our skills to develop statistical models that use SNOMED CT to learn patterns from data but also to reason about it as SNOMED CT encodes a lot of knowledge in its relationship model. Being an external software provider, we put a lot of attention to honesty, as we believe this is one of the most important factors to deliver software that fits customer needs. SNOMED CT-enabled solutions One of pacode's products is upmedic – intelligent structured documentation editor that makes clinicians more productive while creating medical documentation, e.g. radiological reports. Our software reduces reporting time by 70% and allows hospitals to increase productivity. We use SNOMED CT to encode observations. Having concept identifiers attached to the pieces of medical narrative, we enable documentation to be automatically translatable to any of the languages supported by SNOMED CT, and we also help with developing Language reference sets for languages that are still waiting for their support, e.g. Polish language. www.upmedic.pl text-to-snomedct is a deep learning model that is used to provide entity-tagging for unstructured medical documentation.

    The Dental Information System (DIS) was developed internally by the Oral Health Programme, Ministry of Health Malaysia (OHP) spearheaded by a specialized team of dental professionals as part of the broader National Electronic Medical Record (EMR) initiative. Early DIS iterations primarily emphasized disease incidence analytics and clinician workload tracking. SNOMED CT was integrated during initial development phases, demonstrating an early commitment to adopting standardized terminologies for enhanced interoperability, effective implementation of the International Patient Summary (IPS) and streamlined integration with other health information systems. Valuable experiences were accrued through the development of eReporting V2.0 Oral Health within the Malaysian Health Data Warehouse (MyHDW), particularly from integrating MyHarmony for the analysis of unstructured data using SNOMED CT. The Health Informatics Centre (HIC), as a crucial stakeholder in the national deployment of SNOMED CT, is now focused on systematically mapping DIS data variables to SNOMED CT concepts. This mapping effort aims to establish a foundational standardized Dentistry IPS framework, thereby promoting interoperability on national and international scales.

The Health Informatics Centre (HIC), as a crucial stakeholder in the national deployment of SNOMED CT, is now focused on systematically mapping DIS data variables to SNOMED CT concepts. This mapping effort aims to establish a foundational standardized Dentistry IPS framework, thereby promoting interoperability on national and international scales. Description The DIS developed in-house by the Ministry of Health Malaysia, comprises four submodules designed to support various aspects of oral healthcare services. One of the key modules, DIS:Clinical, functions as an EMR system for primary oral healthcare by capturing patient data during each clinical encounter. It also records non-patient-based data, such as health promotion and program-specific activities. These data are subsequently used to generate reports on disease incidence and clinician workload. A small portion of DIS variables has incorporated SNOMED CT to enhance data standardization and interoperability. To further support international use in dentistry particularly in generating an International Patient Summary (IPS), which Malaysia successfully implemented during the Haj pilgrimage, most clinical variables within DIS were mapped to SNOMED CT concepts, referencing a 2021 local reference set. A mapping document containing Fully Specified Names (FSNs), SNOMED CT codes, synonyms, and local terminology proved essential, especially since many data elements were originally documented in the Malay language. The terminology alignment was validated using the SNOMED CT International Edition (September 2024), which has since been integrated into the DIS to ensure semantic consistency and broader interoperability. Preliminary results indicate that the majority of DIS:Clinical variables align with SNOMED CT hierarchies, particularly under Clinical Findings and Procedures. Most clinical notes were successfully mapped to the pre-existing reference set, with a high proportion of variables demonstrating either one-to-one or post-coordinated concept mapping. The next step involves developing a consensus-based data sharing format aligned with the IPS structure to support both national and international interoperability. Scope Malaysia has been a subscriber to SNOMED CT for many years. Its introduction to the Oral Health Programme began in 2018, with an initial focus on supporting disease and service analysis within the Malaysian Health Data Warehouse (MyHDW). Building on this foundation, the use of SNOMED CT is now being expanded to the front end, specifically in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system used during patient encounters. How SNOMED CT will be used In Malaysia's Dental Information System (DIS), SNOMED CT helps to enhance data standardization and support interoperability. Some clinical variables in the DIS Clinical module have been linked to SNOMED CT terms, especially from the Clinical Findings and Procedures categories. This mapping allows clinical notes and patient data, often documented in the Malay language, to be standardized using internationally recognized terminology.

This presentation will detail Cyprus's progress, highlight the vital role of SNOMED CT, and discuss the challenges and opportunities involved in preparing for the National eHealth Law and the EHDS Regulation compliance. Our efforts are positioning Cyprus for active participation in a more connected, secure, and innovative European health data space environment. Description The implementation of SNOMED CT in Cyprus is a strategic move to boost semantic interoperability across our national health information system subject to a decision for adoption by all involved stakeholders. Our main goal is to enable both the primary and secondary use of health data, as envisioned by the EHDS—supporting healthcare delivery and continuity of care (primary use), as well as clinical research, public health monitoring, health system planning, and policy development (secondary use). Scope We chose SNOMED CT because it's essential for achieving our goals of detailed, structured clinical documentation, interoperability, and the secondary use of data—all key to the European Health Data Space (EHDS). SNOMED CT is already widely adopted across Europe, and it comes with mapping tools that make it easier to integrate with our current systems like ICD-10. This helps smooth the transition from our fragmented coding environment to a standardized, research-ready health data ecosystem. How SNOMED CT will be used Cyprus's healthcare system currently grapples with a mix of coding systems like ICD-10, LOINC, ICPC, CPT-4 for reimbursement, and a lot of free-text entries. This patchwork makes sharing, integrating, and reusing data a real challenge. SNOMED CT is our answer to this fragmentation. We're adopting it to bring in a comprehensive, standardized clinical terminology that will capture detailed clinical content consistently right at the point of care. Our implementation plan focuses on several key areas: * Mapping and aligning our existing coding systems with SNOMED CT. This will allow for smooth translation and integration of all our clinical data. * Developing national governance and technical infrastructure to fully support how we use, maintain, and share SNOMED CT across the system. * Facilitating structured data capture in electronic health records (EHRs). This is vital for collecting real-world data and enabling its future use. * Enabling the secondary use of data for national and EU-level research projects, epidemiological studies, and data analytics, all while aligning with the goals of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) Regulation. Ultimately, bringing SNOMED CT on board will be a cornerstone of Cyprus's efforts to build a robust, interoperable, and research-ready health data ecosystem. This move will serve both our national healthcare priorities and the wider European digital health objectives.

    Semantic interoperability is a national priority in various countries, facilitating data exchange within healthcare ecosystems, particularly electronic medical records. Health terminology standards are essential for ensuring semantic interoperability, preserving the meaning of data, and enabling consistent interpretation across systems. Countries can adopt existing terminology standards that meet their specific needs or develop local standards to ensure interoperability and consistency. Terminology will evolve alongside the updates in medical knowledge and interoperability requirements. Effective terminology management is crucial for adapting to ongoing changes in health standards. Some countries have established governing bodies for terminology management; however, no guidelines or frameworks currently exist to support these bodies. Therefore, a scoping review was conducted from 35 selected articles to understand the scope, principles, challenges, pitfalls, and knowledge gaps in national-level terminology management. Terminology management includes all activities related to terminology systems after their initial release, such as the development, management, and updating of content and change policy. Changes in terminology encompass the addition, inactivation, or obsolete marking, refinement, updates to existing content, and reactivation. This process involves collecting change proposals, validating them, conducting consensus-based reviews, verifying, managing versions, implementing changes, and publicising them. Terminology management must consider principles like stakeholder communication, openness, responsiveness to feedback, and unique processes tailored to each organisation. A national body for terminology management is essential for coordinating and collaborating with multidisciplinary stakeholders. The lack of a formal methodology, combined with the complex, resource-intensive, and ongoing nature of staff changes, presents a challenge for implementing terminology management.

The literature from the search results was then assessed for eligibility using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirty-five selected articles were extracted to compile information about the research questions, and a basic qualitative analysis was conducted to synthesise the results and answer those questions. Scope SNOMED CT was chosen for this research because it is the most comprehensive terminology available globally and has clear and transparent documentation regarding its management. Additionally, SNOMED International provides numerous guidelines and learning materials on the principles and practical steps for member countries to manage their terminology products, including extensions, subsets, reference sets, and translations. This aligns with the study's aim to explore and synthesise the scope and principles of terminology management conducted by the national governing body. By examining literature related to SNOMED CT, the review gains insight into high-impact practices and common considerations relevant to terminology management on a national scale. How SNOMED CT will be used SNOMED CT, as the most comprehensive health terminology standard in the world, has become one of the leading terminology standards, with a substantial body of existing literature on SNOMED CT implementation and terminology management. SNOMED International, as one of the Standard Developing Organisations (SDOS), has published numerous guidelines and learning materials on implementing or adopting SNOMED CT, as well as on how member countries or implementers manage their extensions, reference sets, subsets, and translations. These guidelines provide the principles for managing terminology products and outline practical steps for governing them. Therefore, these documents published by SNOMED International regarding SNOMED CT were included in the study to provide important knowledge on the scope, principles, challenges, and common pitfalls of terminology management at the national level.

  • SNOMED International releases the first Nutrition Care Process Terminology Reference Set

    SNOMED International releases the first Nutrition Care Process Terminology Reference Set Back 14 May 2024 Back SNOMED International is pleased to announce the release and inclusion of the Nutrition Care Process Terminology (NCPT) Nutrition Reference Set in the April 2024 International Edition of SNOMED CT. This release enables dietitians to systematically report their nutrition practice outcomes — resulting in high-quality nutrition care using a standardized quality improvement process to support care and effective decision-making, as well as to inform nutrition education and health policy. The result of a 2021 collaboration between SNOMED International and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (the Academy), the reference set is based on NCPT 2020 . SNOMED CT is a comprehensive, multilingual healthcare terminology created for use by healthcare professionals to capture the care of individuals in an electronic health record and facilitate sharing, decision support and analytics, to support safe and effective health information exchange. The NCPT supports the Academy’s Nutrition Care Process, a systematic approach to providing high-quality nutrition care that includes nutrition assessment, diagnosis, intervention and monitoring/evaluation. Dr James T. Case, Chief Terminologist at SNOMED International, says, “since signing the collaboration agreement in mid-2021, subject matter experts from both organizations have ensured that nutrition remains connected to the wider health information landscape globally, that SNOMED CT continues to adequately reflect global nutrition practice, and that information collected using NCPT can link to SNOMED CT encoded records and be shared with other healthcare professionals to support patient care. “The inclusion of nutritional content in SNOMED CT contributes to realizing a single global language of health, but it also supports patient care delivery, usage for research purposes and participation in health policy making,” Dr. Case adds. On the SNOMED International side, the NCPT Project Group , led by the Academy with input from global experts, spearheaded the work of the collaboration. “Integrating nutrition care process terminology in SNOMED CT is a major milestone for the nutrition and dietetics profession as it recognizes the high quality of care that dietitians provide in identifying and treating patients with malnutrition,” says registered dietitian nutritionist and 2023-2024 Academy President Lauri Wright. “The publication of the NCPT is the result of two decades of work to encourage rigorous research and improve nutrition outcomes.” “The integration of the NCPT into SNOMED CT also prevents the disconnection of nutrition content from the larger health information landscape as dietitians do not practice in isolation, but alongside many other disciplines,” says Elaine Wooler, Senior Terminologist at SNOMED International and lead terminologist working on this project. “Another benefit of the incorporation of the NCPT into the International Edition of SNOMED CT is that it enables and facilitates our growing understanding of the importance of nutrition and diet in human health in general and in many specific health conditions.” The NCPT reference set will also be included in the free-for-use Global Patient Set, which SNOMED International releases annually. The next release of the SNOMED NCPT reference is scheduled for 2025 and will contain the complete NCPT. For more information on the collaboration between the two organizations, view the 2021 news release . Click here for more information on the NCPT reference set. *The Nutrition Care Process Terminology Project Group has completed its work aligning the content of Nutrition Care Process Terminology (NCPT) to SNOMED CT, facilitating the access to NCPT in SNOMED enabled systems. The Nutrition and Dietetics Clinical Reference Group, led by the Academy, will be responsible for the development of a SNOMED CT reference set, which will support the NCPT related content availability to all SCT users globally, with a supporting clinical implementation guide. About the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Representing more than 112,000 credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the world’s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals.

  • New ICNP-SNOMED CT Nursing Practice Refset is first product from recent agreement

    New ICNP-SNOMED CT Nursing Practice Refset is first product from recent agreement Back 21 Oct 2021 Back OCTOBER 21, 2021 – SNOMED International and the International Council of Nurses (ICN) announce the production release of a new reference set, the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) SNOMED CT Nursing Practice Refset. In August 2020, SNOMED International and the International Council of Nurses (ICN) joined forces in a groundbreaking agreement for the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) to be managed, produced, released and distributed by SNOMED International. ICN retains ownership of ICNP and the definition of its content so that it meets the needs of the global nursing profession. The October 2021 production release of the ICNP SNOMED CT Nursing Practice Refset is the inaugural release following the 2020 agreement. ICNP, which has been in use for more than 30 years, is a standardized terminology that enables nurses to describe and report their practice, including diagnoses, interventions and outcomes, in a systematic way. The resulting information is used to support care and effective decision-making, and to inform nursing education and health policy. ICNP content has been incorporated into SNOMED CT and is being released as a reference set by SNOMED International on behalf of ICN. This Production release is based on the 2019 release of ICNP and the July 2021 International Edition Release of SNOMED CT. Subject matter experts from both organisations and the new ICNP Editorial Board at ICN have informed the decisions about additions and changes to SNOMED CT as a result of the incorporation of ICNP. To ensure fit with international requirements and other sources of terminology, the SNOMED International Nursing Clinical Reference Group has also provided advice and expertise. To accompany the reference set, equivalence tables reflecting ICNP content and equivalent SNOMED CT content have been created to show the correspondence between the content in the 2019 release of ICNP and the content in the SNOMED CT reference set. Provision of the equivalence tables supports the migration of ICNP data into SNOMED CT for those not using ICNP in SNOMED CT-enabled systems. This inaugural reference set release capitalises on ICN’s nursing terminology, which is defined by the nursing profession, and SNOMED International’s global clinical validation processes, licensing platform, quality assurance approach and established distribution tools. Access within SNOMED International Member countries is provided by the Member National Release Centre in each country, via the relevant Member webpage. Affiliates of SNOMED International in non-Member countries can access the ICNP SNOMED CT Nursing Practice Refset through their Member Licensing Distribution Service (MLDS) account. ICNP and the equivalence tables are also available for download from the ICN website. Visit the ICN pages to learn more about ICN and ICNP .
