  • Finland National Institute for Health and Welfare joins SNOMED International as the organization's 36th Member

    Finland National Institute for Health and Welfare joins SNOMED International as the organization's 36th Member Back 19 Dec 2018 Back London, United Kingdom, Dec. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SNOMED International and the Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) are pleased to announce that Finland has joined the organization as its thirty-sixth Member. Finland, one of the leading nations in the area of information and communication technology, has set the development of eHealth technologies as a high priority and has quickly become a pioneer in digital health. Its largest national digital healthcare project, the Kanta Service, i.e. the National Archive of Health Information, is one of the most comprehensive systems of its kind globally, covering already the entire Finnish public healthcare sector as well as most of the private sector. The development of Kanta Service began around 2005, and the first laws concerning the digital service were enacted in 2007. A prerequisite to this being the development of information systems and standards and particularly their usability. The Kanta Service is a collaborative undertaking among the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela), the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, and various social and healthcare organizations. As the newest SNOMED International Member, Finland will leverage SNOMED CT’s structured clinical vocabulary to structure its Kanta Service and realize improvements in how clinical data is recorded, analyzed and reported on for the benefit of patient care. Finland’s commitment to SNOMED CT sets a foundation for clinical data to be exchanged accurately and consistently across Finnish health and social care settings, further extending the reach of structured clinical terminology throughout the European region. To make best use of SNOMED CT with available resources, Finland has chosen not to translate the whole terminology. Instead, the aim is to focus on two national reference sets that meet local needs in areas where there is international experience and models showing implementation success. The first target is an obvious one: standardizing the terminology and codes for anatomic pathology in the clinical laboratories. Finnish pathology laboratories have used SNOMED 2 since 1980’s. But lack of coordination eventually resulted in several dialects and variance between hospitals. Now the ongoing project aims at national reference set to help the biobanks, regional and national quality registers and structured reporting on individual patient basis. The other chosen application for SNOMED CT is patient problem list. Finland decided to use CORE Problem List as foundation for the local effort. CORE Problem List originated from a respectable group of medical institutions in the U.S. and is maintained by the National Medical Library thus making the acceptance of the reference set by clinicians so much easier. The ongoing project translates terminology into Finnish and when finished will cover terms for both professionals and patients. Our aim is to have these first two applications ready at the first half of 2020. SNOMED CT National Release Center will gradually take off during 2019 and 2020 to meet the needs for services and support during SNOMED CT local implementations. SNOMED CT NRC will be essential part of THL Code Service. SNOMED CT is the world’s most comprehensive health terminology. Founded in 2007 by nine charter nations, SNOMED International is a not-for-profit, member-owned and driven international organization. CEO, Don Sweete, is excited to add Finland to SNOMED International’s European Member base. “Finland’s leading-edge digital expertise stems from years as leaders of the information technology and communications industry.” Since then, the strong Finnish ICT experience has permeated nearly every industrial sector including health. Digital health technology is certainly one of the most compelling and promising of these fields with the Kanta Service, and Finland’s commitment to adopting SNOMED CT’s clinical terminology to support care delivery, data analysis and research is encouraging.” Finland is the twenty-third country in the Europe, Middle East and African region (EMEA) to join SNOMED International, strengthening the position of the area for increased interoperability amongst its regional and international counterparts as was echoed in the 2017 ASSESS CT report.

    In this project, we aimed to enhance the structural and semantic interoperability and secondary usability of clinical data by mapping structured elements from our Electronic Health Record (KWS) to SNOMED CT and FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards. The overarching goal was to prepare our EHR for meaningful data exchange with other systems, while unlocking the potential for reusing structured clinical data for research, quality monitoring, and organizational analytics. We focused on data elements already captured in a structured way within the EHR and aligned them with appropriate FHIR resources. These included: * Medical procedures (both surgical and non-surgical) * Imaging procedures * Laboratory * Nursing observations and procedures * Diagnoses (goal= SNOMED CT as primary language) We identified the relevant data elements within the FHIR resource that contribute to the term's semantic expression and are widely applicable. This enabled us to define FHIR-based templates tailored to our context—serving both as a mapping guide and as a foundation for generating valid FHIR resources. FHIR data elements were then semantically enriched using SNOMED CT codes. This ensured that clinical meaning was preserved, even in scenarios where precoordinated SNOMED CT concepts were unavailable. Much of the semantic mapping occurs in the background, ensuring minimal impact on the end-user workflow. This initiative demonstrated that thoughtful, context-aware mapping of EPD data to international standards is both feasible and valuable. It provides a strong foundation for improved data exchange, semantic interoperability, and meaningful reuse of clinical data across healthcare and research ecosystems.

This initiative demonstrated that thoughtful, context-aware mapping of EPD data to international standards is both feasible and valuable. It provides a strong foundation for improved data exchange, semantic interoperability, and meaningful reuse of clinical data across healthcare and research ecosystems. Description This project focused on enabling semantic interoperability and secondary data usability of clinical data within our hospital's Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, KWS. We mapped existing structured clinical content to SNOMED CT and aligned relevant elements with FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards. The project covered various clinical domains, including diagnoses, medical procedures, imaging, laboratory, and nursing observations and procedures. Our aim was twofold: to prepare the EHR for interoperable, standards-based data exchange and to enable meaningful reuse of clinical data for research, quality improvement, and organizational analytics. We developed context-aware FHIR templates that served as both a technical guide and a tool for generating structured FHIR resources enriched with SNOMED CT concepts. Scope SNOMED CT was selected for its comprehensive clinical scope, standardized structure, and robust international interoperability, making it the most widely adopted clinical terminology system globally. As the mandated national standard in Belgium, its adoption aligns with strategic guidance from national healthcare bodies such as the eHealth Platform, while also ensuring seamless alignment with international standards such as HL7, ICD, and LOINC. This dual compliance guarantees consistency with both national policy and global healthcare interoperability frameworks, fostering cross-border data exchange and collaboration. SNOMED CT provides a semantically rich and precise foundation for representing clinical data, making it ideal for structured health information exchange across diverse healthcare systems worldwide. Its capacity for both pre- and post-coordination enables flexibility in mapping a wide range of clinical scenarios, supporting multilingual and multicultural healthcare environments. Furthermore, its deep integration with FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) ensures future-proof, standards-based infrastructure, facilitating compliance with evolving digital health regulations. This interoperability enhances secondary uses of data, such as (international) research collaborations, global health surveillance, quality benchmarking, and advanced analytics across the healthcare ecosystem. By adopting SNOMED CT, Belgium not only strengthens its national health data infrastructure but also positions itself as an active participant in the global digital health landscape, enabling cross-border patient care, interoperable EHR systems, and worldwide clinical research initiatives. How SNOMED CT will be used SNOMED CT is used to semantically enrich the structured data elements identified within the FHIR resource that contribute to the term's semantic expression and are widely applicable. Each FHIR template was designed to incorporate relevant SNOMED CT codes at appropriate data points, ensuring that the clinical intent and meaning are preserved during data exchange. For domains where precoordinated SNOMED CT concepts were insufficient, post-coordination was explored and selectively applied. The use of SNOMED CT occurs primarily in the background (for medical procedures, imaging, laboratory results, and nursing observations and procedures), allowing clinical workflows to remain unaffected. Our hospital has adopted SNOMED CT as the default and standard terminology for diagnosis coding in the problem list. While some medical disciplines are already successfully using SNOMED CT, we are taking an incremental approach to implementation across all departments, with full hospital-wide adoption targeted for completion by the end of 2026.

    At the Department of Public Health and Primary Care of Ghent University, Belgium, a three-pronged project (SNOClass) has started to map core sets of SNOMED CT concepts (relevant for primary care) to the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC-3), as well as to ICF and ICHI. This project is an initiative of the Belgian Health Terminology Center, started in January 2025 and spanning over 12 months. ICPC-3 is a classification method for primary care encounters, developed by the WONCA International Classification Committee (WICC). ICPC-3 supports primary care clinicians coding of a patient's reason(s) for encounter, symptoms and complaints, diagnoses, health problems, functioning, environmental factors, personal factors related to health and processes. A map from SNOMED CT to ICPC-2 existed until January 2019 when it was deprecated after WONCA confirmed the map was no longer maintained and was focusing on successor ICPC-3, an edition providing more comprehensive coverage of functioning and social issues domains that are important in primary care.[J3] Currently, there is no automated method to map SNOMED CT to ICPC-3. This is important to address to optimize the quality of the mapping. This work is supported by the WHO Collaborating Centre on Family Medicine and Primary Health Care, in collaboration with the Department of Rehabilitation and Units of Family Medicine and Medical Informatics.

This is important to address to optimize the quality of the mapping. This work is supported by the WHO Collaborating Centre on Family Medicine and Primary Health Care, in collaboration with the Department of Rehabilitation and Units of Family Medicine and Medical Informatics. Description The aim is to develop a mapping between SNOMED CT concepts relevant for primary care and the third edition of the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC-3). To select relevant SNOMED CT subsets, two approaches have been explored. The first approach was based on the SNOMED CT hierarchy (semantic) tags, but with limited benefits. As the ICPC-3 classification is about General Practice, almost all SNOMED CT domains and hierarchy tags were relevant. With this approach, the total amount of concepts was reduced by 30%, from 370.931 to 258.926 concepts. To further narrow it down, a second approach was explored, which consisted in reusing existing mappings: 3BT and the General Practitioner Reference Set (GP-Refset). * 3BT (Bilingual Biclassified Belgian Thesaurus) is an interface terminology of Belgian general practice. More than 51.000 lexical entries have been collected based on daily practice frequency of use and given a unique IBUI (Belgian Unique Identifier) code and corresponding ICD10 and ICPC-2 codes. * GP-Refset project selected the top 11.000 lexical entries. An exact match to a SNOMED CT concept was possible for 5.308 entries. These have then been matched to 548 out of approximately 1300 ICPC-2 codes. These codes are further specified by adding an ICD-10 code. Between ICPC generations, a published conversion table of ICPC-2 to ICPC-3 (and 1) provides a bidirectional map. Building on these previous projects, 5046 lexical entries are already matched to 4160 SNOMED CT concepts, ICPC-2 codes and ICD-10 codes. The next step will be to identify among the selected SNOMED CT terms the ones that provide at a high level of aggregation an exact one-to-one match with the ICPC-3 classes, and a lower level of aggregation with the ICPC-3 inclusion terms. These exact one-to-one matches between SNOMED CT and ICPC-3, suggested by the previous computerized procedures will be validated by a blinded team of coding experts, with a third reviewer for consensus in case of disagreement. Results of this project will contribute to the Belgian GP-Refset, to a legacy conversion table to modernize the historical epidemiological datasets, and to a modern sophisticated terminological support tool for high quality end-user data entry at the point-of-care, allowing data entry once, and multiple use afterwards. Scope SNOMED CT is the most comprehensive and systematically organized reference terminology globally. It provides codes, terms, synonyms and definitions used in clinical recording of data across all healthcare sectors. Also in Belgium, SNOMED CT is used as the interface in some electronic health records. How SNOMED CT will be used This project approaches SNOMED CT as a terminology used in electronic health [J1] records and is working on mapping it to the International Classification Primary Care (ICPC-3) to produce epidemiologically relevant data from GPs registration of patient encounters. Given the different granularities of the resources, mapping from SNOMED CT (more than 370.000 concepts) to ICPC-3 (more than 1.300 classes) implies considering 3.000 times more concepts than mappings in the opposite direction (from SNOMED CT to ICPC-3). A high number of mappings from several SNOMED CT concepts to one ICPC-3 class (many-to-one) is expected, as well as mappings at a higher level of aggregation and a lower level of granularity.
