In the wake of the Covid crisis, vendors have been rolling out hospital resource management software to help French hospitals improve the use of their medical resources (beds, staff, imaging equipment, ...). The core principle of which is to link health conditions to hospital resources, so that each new patient registration results in appropriate booking of resources. Currently, hospitals are required to define their own list of health conditions, a process that has many shortcomings ranging from costly delays to lack of interoperability. PHAST's goal is to create a national list, TIO, that vendors can integrate quickly and securely, and that hospitals can easily customise and maintain.

The core principle of which is to link health conditions to hospital resources, so that each new patient registration results in appropriate booking of resources. Currently, hospitals are required to define their own list of health conditions, a process that has many shortcomings ranging from costly delays to lack of interoperability. PHAST's goal is to create a national list, TIO, that vendors can integrate quickly and securely, and that hospitals can easily customise and maintain. Description THE PROJECT AIMS TO DESIGN A LIST OF CLINICAL CONDITIONS RELATING TO SPECIFIC HOSPITAL RESOURCES (TIO) WHICH CAN BE INTEGRATED WITHIN HOSPITAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. THE PROJECT COVERS A RANGE OF ISSUES: (1) FINDING THE METHOD; (2) PRODUCING & MAINTAINING THIS LIST ACCORDINGLY; (3) FINDING A CONSENSUS WITH VENDORS ABOUT THE TIO FORMAT AND INTEGRATION RULES; (4) PROVIDING A TOOL TO EDIT TIO, ALLOWING EACH HOSPITAL TO CUSTOMISE THE LIST; (5) PROVIDING A SERVICE TO MAINTAIN THESE CUSTOMISED LISTS REMOTELY; (6) CONVINCING HOSPITAL MANAGERS THAT SEMANTIC INTEROPERABILITY IS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT AND RUN HOSPITAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. Scope For the TIO project, SNOMED CT serves as the central terminology to ensure interoperability and facilitate the creation of a curated list of clinical situations for hospital resource management. By providing a unique concept for each clinical expression, SNOMED CT enables semantic interoperability, overcoming challenges posed by diverse local terms and abbreviations. Furthermore, SNOMED CT's inherent structure allows for semantic enrichment through automated reasoning and the potential for defining relevant groupings using its relationships. For instance, Expression Constraint Language (ECL) queries based on anatomical locations can be created to aid in assigning a medical specialty to a group of expressions. Consequently, this strategic use of SNOMED CT transforms TIO into a valuable asset for predicting patient pathways and optimising healthcare resources allocation. How SNOMED CT will be used TIO is a list of common medical terms, including synonyms and acronyms, each of which is coded by PHAST using SNOMED CT. The unique meanings of SNOMED CT concept codes provide the backbone of TIO. This also allows TIO to have a reliable mapping of TIO terms with the French version of ICD-10, as well as the French classification procedure, (CCAM). As SNOMED CT is comprehensive, with compositional grammar to express complex concepts, it covers all granularity levels, and has a dedicated request language (ECL), SNOMED CT provides all the necessary features for TIO to operate.

Becoming a SNOMED International Member is the latest step for France to become a global leader in digital health. SNOMED International welcomes France as a new Member of the global SNOMED CT community Becoming a SNOMED International Member is the latest step for France to become a global leader in digital health. Back 24 Oct 2023 Back Becoming a SNOMED International Member is the latest step for France, a country of more than 67 million inhabitants, in its efforts to become a global leader in digital health. France will join a community of 48 Members globally. Its SNOMED International membership builds on the country’s eHealth acceleration strategy announced in January 2021. It also supports the “France relance ” recovery plan to accelerate the ecological, industrial and social transformations of the country, as well as the country’s 2023-2027 digital health roadmap , which seeks to employ digital technology to improve and transform its healthcare system. The French Agence du Numerique en Santé (ANS) will serve as the country’s National Release Centre for SNOMED CT. As a Member, France will also be represented on SNOMED International’s General Assembly and the organization’s Member Forum governance bodies. France is the 22nd of the 27 European Union (EU) countries to join SNOMED International. It is also the fourth following the announcement of EU funding for member countries wishing to adopt SNOMED CT, 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. Building on extensive translation efforts France will benefit from the extensive translation work already completed by the SNOMED International French Translation User Group . The group, which also includes members from Belgium , Canada , Switzerland and Luxembourg , released the first SNOMED CT common French translation in April 2020 as an option to be published as part of the national edition of any Member involved in producing the translation. This group has served as a model to other countries that share the same language and want to similarly develop translations of the terminology. « The development of interoperability is one of the priorities of the e-health French roadmap. Joining SNOMED International allows France to enhance its health and social Terminologies offer. Being a member also grants the French ecosystem the ability to join and collaborate with the SNOMED CT international community. » SNOMED International CEO Don Sweete concurs, adding that France’s membership will augment both the utility and reach of SNOMED CT across Europe. “France has clearly demonstrated its commitment to improving the health and welfare of its citizens through the application of digital health, and its decision to become a SNOMED International Member is an important step in that direction,” he says. “Although there have long been a number of affiliate license users in France, membership means the country can provide access to SNOMED CT – and its global community – to all its commercial and non-commercial users,” he adds.

The Joint Initiative Council: International Collaboration for Digital Health Standards Back 11 Apr 2019 Back It is widely accepted that the adoption of standards is a foundational element essential to effective digital health. Today’s health care demands extensive sharing of information amongst clinicians, across organizations and geographies, and also with the patient, all of which would be impossible without the use of standards. With the increasing globalization of digital health comes the equally increasing need to use internationally developed standards. International digital health standards are produced and supported by a relatively small number of international Standards Development Organizations (SDO’s). In the past, these SDO’s operated independently resulting in standards that often overlapped and competed for acceptance. In 2007 the Joint Initiative Council for Global Health Informatics Standardization (known as the JIC) was formed to provide a forum for dialogue and collaboration amongst an initial group of 3 of SDO’s. Having grown to include 9 SDOs representing the most prominent in the industry, current membership includes ISO/TC215, HL7 International, CEN/TC251, CDISC, IHE International, DICOM, SNOMED International, GS1, and the PCH Alliance. As stated in its Charter, the JIC is a council of equals, with each member SDO taking a turn to chair the JIC for a 2-year term. This Chair rotation is key to the JIC’s stability and sustainability over time. While the JIC undertakes a myriad of functions, the most important is as a forum for regular collaboration amongst the senior leadership of the member SDO’s. “This exchange of strategies, priorities and initiatives provides assurance to the digital health industry worldwide that SDO’s are committed to ongoing dialogue, and wherever possible, joint initiatives that reduce overlapping efforts and fill needed gaps”, said Michael Nusbaum, who represents IHE and is the current JIC Chair. “Users of our standards, including governments, health providers and vendors, welcome this collaboration as a signal of cooperation and stability at the international level”. In addition, the JIC has undertaken a number of specific joint initiatives that have led to a more harmonized approach to the development of standards. Examples of JIC successes include standards for harmonized data types, functional models for electronic and personal health records, a tool that collects and resolves standards definitions and terms, a standards set and associated guidance for implementing a patient summary record, and standards for the identification of medicinal products. Currently, the JIC is also helping to coordinate cross-SDO participation in the development of international genomics standards. While each of the member SDO’s have their particular strengths and capabilities, the JIC serves as an important vehicle to foster both the spirit of collaboration as well as cross-SDO development activities, leading to a stronger and more robust international standards community that supports digital health.

Laboratory medicine is faced with rapid developments in data exchange, secondary use of data and AI. Safe exchange of laboratory data requires a suitable terminology standard. NPU, LOINC and SNOMED CT are increasingly used for this purpose, but none of these terminology standards can currently accommodate safe exchange across the full spectrum of conventional laboratory data. Furthermore, rapid technological advances in, amongst others, the ‘omics’ area will enforce a shift towards precision diagnostics. These emerging technologies demand an appropriate and future-proof terminology standard. Given the current and future challenges in laboratory terminologies, we here present a concept for digital metrology in laboratory medicine. Terminology standards used in laboratory medicine should be adjusted to the current state of science to allow safe data exchange and interpretation. Essential test information for safe data exchange and secondary use of data now and in the future entails the full spectrum of pre-pre-analysis to post-post-analysis. Major improvements needed include sufficient coding detail for the molecular form of the measurand and information on metrological traceability. Furthermore, it will become essential to indicate interrelationships between measurands. Herefore, integration with established taxonomies like UniprotKB would allow improved identification of interrelationships between measurands and linkage with scientific information for multidisciplinary data science. Hence, laboratory data can further gain in specificity and value. The time has come to lay the basis for safe data exchange in the era of precision diagnostics. A consensus for digital metrology in laboratory medicine will be essential to move forward with health data exchange.
