Austria introduces nationwide standard of clinical terminology with membership in SNOMED International Back 6 Mar 2019 Back London, United Kingdom, March 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Austria through ELGA GmbH, “elektronische Gesundheitsakte”, and SNOMED International jointly announce the addition of Austria as the organization’s thirty-seventh Member. With its continued development, Austria’s ELGA electronic health record system enables all eligible users including citizens, patients, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, etc. to gain access to healthcare information. When it comes to establishing and operating a nationwide personal health record, effective and efficient terminology management including the development, administration, maintenance and publishing of clinical terminology is truly a precondition to achieving semantic interoperability. Further, within the European region, the promise of cross-border care and clinical information mobility is believed to be the single most important revolution in healthcare. The role that structured data plays in supporting this vision is critical. SNOMED CT is the world’s most comprehensive and precise health terminology. Founded in 2007 by nine charter nations, SNOMED International is a not-for-profit, member-owned and driven international organization. “SNOMED CT is a core element in building a platform for accurate clinical information exchange and data analysis” states SNOMED International’s CEO, Don Sweete. “We welcome Austria’s membership in the organization and look forward to a future where SNOMED CT’s structured terminology supports the goal of a clinically networked nation for Austria. ”The ELGA GmbH program has been in place since 2009 and is financed by the Austrian Republic, Austria’s 9 Federal States and the Social Insurance Group. Mandated with managing the technical and organizational implementation of its national electronic health record, ELGA recognizes that semantic interoperability within a nationwide electronic patient record can only be achieved by providing standardized terminologies. In order to appropriately address clinical documentation, a plethora of special terms, abbreviations and codes, organized in systems like nomenclatures and classifications is a prerequisite. Dr. Stefan Sabutsch, Head of the SNOMED Release Center Austria and Executive Lead Standards & Usability at ELGA GmbH, emphasizes: "With the introduction of SNOMED CT in Austria, we have taken a further important step in in the field of information and communication technologies in the healthcare sector. Confessing to a nationwide standard of clinical terminology as an integrative part of the Austrian Health Record ELGA shows clearly that the responsible people in the country are absolutely committed to the importance of semantic interoperability.” Sabutsch adds "a clinically validated terminology such as SNOMED CT has great relevance to the Austrian healthcare system and will play a key role in improving the efficiency and quality of the existing healthcare system and benefiting the patients." Austria becomes the 24th Member from Europe, the Middle East and Africa to join SNOMED International, laying the groundwork for increased interoperability across the region. SNOMED CT becomes part of Austria’s national infrastructure as a contributor ensuring the exchange of accurate, relevant and timely information across needed ELGA provider and consumer health information systems.

New collaboration with the AAP and the EFP boosts quantity and quality of international dentistry Back 14 Dec 2021 Back SNOMED International is pleased to announce a new collaboration agreement with the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP). Effective as of October 1, 2021 for a five-year term, this collaboration emerged from the need identified by the SNOMED International Dentistry Clinical Reference Group (CRG) to update and augment the periodontology content in SNOMED CT. The Dentistry CRG provides advice and guidance to ensure that SNOMED CT dentistry content meets the needs of users globally and is implementable in Dentistry Information Systems. To ensure periodontal content within SNOMED CT is in line with current practice, the Dentistry CRG advised incorporation of content from the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions, jointly published by the AAP and the EFP. The collaboration, which is resulting in the addition of new and updated periodontal content in future releases of SNOMED CT International Edition, will also create mechanisms for maintaining and updating the content to reflect agreed-upon practice in this area of dentistry, and aligns with the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions. In October 2023, the three participating organizations will determine future collaborative activities based on emerging global requirements. “The success and overall utility of SNOMED CT depends on a host of partnerships and collaborative agreements such as this,” said SNOMED International CEO Don Sweete. “This particular agreement is key to enhancing the breadth and depth of dentistry-related clinical terminology, and will benefit dental patients, dentists and other stakeholders worldwide. It will also help us to avoid duplicating work already done while ensuring we are aligning with work and delivering content in line with current practice.” “The AAP is an organization that prides itself on collaboration,” states AAP President, Christopher R. Richardson, DMD, MS. “The Academy’s mission is to ensure the quality of periodontal care in the United States and to also help people around the globe receive the best periodontal treatment possible. A critical component in accomplishing this goal is the sharing of knowledge. Co-creating the 2017 “Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions," and subsequent dissemination and incorporation throughout the world, are major accomplishments and the AAP is proud to be part of the process.” “The New Classification is the product of the World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions, organised jointly in 2017 by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP). This agreement represents another important step to create a consensus knowledge base for a new classification to be promoted globally”, says Lior Shapira, president of the EFP. “Periodontitis affects 45-50% of the world population and increases in prevalence with age, with severe periodontitis impacting 11% of people. The majority of periodontal diseases are totally preventable with excellent oral hygiene. We need to raise awareness of gum disease with oral healthcare professions and the public to ideally prevent it or if present treat early”, emphasizes Nicola West, secretary general of the EFP. “The 2017 World Workshop Classification system for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions was developed in order to accommodate advances in knowledge derived from both biological and clinical research, importantly defining clinical health for the first time. This new classification is a game changer for oral healthcare professionals to manage better their patients”. About the AAP The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) represents nearly 8,000 periodontists—specialists in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of inflammatory diseases affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontics is one of twelve dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. About the EFP The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting awareness of periodontal science and the importance of gum health. Its guiding vision is “Periodontal health for a better life.”Founded in 1991, the EFP is a federation of 37 national periodontal societies that represents more than 16,000 periodontists, dentists, researchers and oral-health professionals from Europe and around the world. It pursues evidence-based science in periodontal and oral health, promoting events and campaigns aimed at both professionals and the public.

SNOMED CT Compositional Grammar Specification and Guide Back 21 May 2015 Back IHTSDO is pleased to announce that a revised "SNOMED CT Compositional Grammar Specification and Guide" has been published to the SNOMED CT Document Library. SNOMED CT Compositional Grammar is a lightweight syntax for the representation of SNOMED CT expressions, which has proven to be both human readable and machine parsable. The use of SNOMED CT expressions in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) provides a standardized way to represent clinical meanings captured by clinicians and enables the automatic interpretation of this meaning. SNOMED CT expressions are also carried in messages, used to define pre-coordinated concepts and used to represent associations between SNOMED CT and LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes). The revised SNOMED CT Compositional Grammar Specification and Guide describes a revision to the previously adopted IHTSDO standard. The new specification is completely backwardly compatible with the prior standard, and includes two significant enhancements: Concrete values are now permitted as attribute values, and a definition status may now (optionally) be included at the start of an expression to indicate whether the clinical idea being expressed is 'equivalent to' or a 'subtype of' the expression. The new Specification and Guide defines the formal syntax of SNOMED CT Compositional Grammar, explains a set of example expressions and provides guidance to assist in the implementation of this syntax.

Description CanShare is a national project, developed by Te Aho o Te Kahu (Cancer Control Agency) in collaboration with Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora in New Zealand, to share cancer data using SNOMED CT and HL7 FHIR. The CanShare team is developing SNOMED CT enabled datasets to collect and share cancer data, including structured pathology requests and reports, genetic testing, surgical notes, systemic anti-cancer therapy, radiation oncology treatment, cancer registries, screening and more. Scope SNOMED CT was selected for a number of reasons. Firstly it is both a New Zealand national standard and an international standard. Secondly, it is the only terminology with the breadth and depth to standardise the wide range of cancer data that needs to be shared. Thirdly, SNOMED CT's semantic definitions enable advanced use of the data, including data reuse, data analytics and clinical decision support. How SNOMED CT will be used SNOMED CT value sets have been developed for a range of cancer-related data, including cancer types, morphologies, body sites, observables, test results, cancer grading, staging, prognostic factors, scoring, treatment intents, disease responses, and more. Observable entity and clinical finding templates are used to author new, fully defined molecular and immunohistochemistry tests and results (respectively). This includes gene mutations, gene amplifications, genetic rearrangements and mismatch repair deficiency. Our use of SNOMED CT is driven by clinical use cases, including sharing structured pathology reports, systemic anti-cancer therapy care plans, radiation oncology treatment and surgical notes. SNOMED CT is being used as: * A reference terminology to integrate data from different data silos and share clinical information between healthcare providers. * An interface terminology in vendor systems (using the CanShare language reference set), and * A source of semantic definitions for data analytics (using ECL queries on the New Zealand Health Terminology Service, NZHTS).

The Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) issued the Standard Terminology and Data Exchange Standards for Healthcare Data in 2023 to ensure data interoperability. The Korea Core Data for Interoperability (KR CDI) defines the minimum dataset for healthcare data exchange. To standardize KR CDI value sets using standard terminologies such as SNOMED CT and LOINC, the Korea Health Information Service (KHIS) commissioned clinical societies to develop standardized terminology sets. However, challenges in standardization limited their use and dissemination. To address these challenges and prepare for the first release of the SNOMED CT Korean Extension, the Korean National Release Center (NRC) designated by MOHW and operated by KHIS has begun active engagement in Korean Extension content management. The Korean NRC conducted a pilot project in partnership with the Korean Academy of Family Medicine (KAFM) aiming to validate effective collaboration with clinical societies for developing standardized terminology sets. KAFM developed terminology sets for past medical history, family history, smoking, and alcohol use which were mapped to SNOMED CT. The Korean NRC reviewed the map and authored new concepts based on priorities identified during the review. Four reference sets were created using the SNOMED CT Reference Set Tool. This collaboration resulted in adding 83 Korean descriptions and 18 new concepts to the SNOMED CT Korean Extension. In addition to these outcomes, this pilot project produced a generalizable process of collaboration with the clinical societies, supporting continued expansion of the Korean Extension and contributing to national health data interoperability.

In addition to these outcomes, this pilot project produced a generalizable process of collaboration with the clinical societies, supporting continued expansion of the Korean Extension and contributing to national health data interoperability. Description The primary scope of this pilot project involved developing standardized terminology sets through a strategic collaboration between the Korean NRC and a selected clinical society, KAFM. This collaboration aimed to establish and validate a generalizable process for future partnerships with other clinical societies in developing other standardized terminology sets. Previously, standardized terminology sets aligned with the KR CDI were developed independently by clinical societies under the KAMS, with research projects commissioned by KHIS to each clinical society. However, this approach faced limitations in standardization and dissemination, highlighting the need for expertise in standard healthcare terminologies such as SNOMED CT. To address these challenges, KHIS, which operates the Korean NRC, expanded the NRC's role to engage directly in terminology standardization. This project covered defining roles and workflows, standardizing terms by mapping to SNOMED CT, and developing reference sets. KAFM proposed terminology sets in four domains: past medical history, family history, smoking and alcohol use. The Korean NRC mapped source terms to SNOMED CT concepts using the SNOMED CT Browser International Edition. Terms related to past medical history and family history were mapped to SNOMED CT concepts with situation with explicit context semantic tag, while those related to smoking and alcohol use were mapped to ones with finding or observable entity tags. New concepts were authored and added to the SNOMED CT Korean Extension via SNOEMD International Authoring Platform. Ultimately, four reference sets were developed using the SNOMED CT Reference Set Tool 2.0 and added to the Korean Extension. The pilot project between the Korean NRC and the KAFM led to formalization of a scalable and generalizable collaboration model between the Korean NRC and other clinical societies. This established the foundation for sustainable SNOMED CT Korean Extension content development. Scope SNOMED CT was selected for several key reasons. First, SNOMED CT concepts are easily searchable using SNOMED CT Browser. When identifying semantically equivalent concepts for the source terms, various search strategies such as using the first three characters of a term or exploring various synonyms could be employed to find the most appropriate match. This enabled the project team to effectively standardize source terms, specifically the values generated to create standardized terminology sets by the Korean Society of Family Medicine. Second, new SNOMED CT concepts can be modeled and added to the SNOMED CT Korean Extension using SNOMED International Authoring Platform. Until now, Korean Extension was not officially released to the public, limiting the practical use of newly added concepts. However, Korea is planning to release its first official version of the Korean Extension in July 2025. This is expected to significantly expand the use and implementation of the Korean Extension concepts. Third, SNOMED CT reference sets tailored to specific use cases can be developed using the SNOMED CT Reference Set Tool 2.0 (RT2). While RT2 facilitated development of multiple reference sets, there was previously no mechanism for public distribution. With the upcoming release of the Korean Extension, reference sets for various standardized terminology sets can be made publicly available to support diverse user needs. How SNOMED CT will be used SNOMED CT was utilized to map values derived by researchers from the Korean Academy of Family Medicine in the process of creating standardized terminology sets for past history, family history, smoking and alcohol use. SNOMED CT Browser International Edition was searched to identify semantically equivalent concepts. When appropriate SNOMED CT concepts were not available, the Korean NRC used SNOMED International Authoring Platform to model and add new concepts to the SNOMED CT Korean Extension. Once all the source terms are mapped to SNOMED CT concepts, SNOMED CT Reference Set Tool 2.0 was used to create reference sets for past history, family history, smoking and alcohol use.
