SNOMED collaborates with Bahmni Coalition to equip open-source EMR with SNOMED CT’s clinical terminology for low-resource, digitally maturing settings Back 5 Oct 2023 Back SNOMED International and the Bahmni Coalition are excited to announce a joint project to produce a SNOMED CT module for integration with Bahmni's open-source Electronic Medical Record (EMR.) SNOMED International’s vision to enable improved health for patients and citizens globally is well aligned with this initiative with its potential for improving care in digitally maturing and resource-constrained regions. Slated to launch at the end of the year, the Bahmni + SNOMED CT project will produce a SNOMED CT module for integration with Bahmni's open-source EMR to provide structured terminology openly to digitally maturing markets. The module will demonstrate how SNOMED CT's standardized clinical terms can be used by open-source EMRs to add structured meaning to clinical information, supporting efficient exchange among healthcare systems. About Bahmni Bahmni, a recognized Digital Public Good , is built on the OpenMRS (medical record system) platform. It is an open-source EMR (a digital version of a patient's healthcare record) and hospital information system that combines and enhances existing open-source products in a single solution. Developed by global technology consultancy Thoughtworks , Bahmni brings together essential functionalities such as patient registration, appointments, recording diagnosis and procedures, billing, lab, pharmacy, and more, into one cohesive platform. With more than 500 implementations in more than 50 countries, Bahmni is designed for use in resource-constrained settings, many of which are in the early stages of digital health transformation. It is the preferred solution in many Asian and African countries and a strategic asset for many large humanitarian organizations. About SNOMED CT 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 (EHR) and facilitate sharing, decision support and analytics, to support safe and effective health information exchange. About the project The integration will enable organizations to use SNOMED CT along with the SNOMED CT Terminology Server in their health facilities to record diagnosis and clinical data as well as for reporting and clinical decision support use cases. Users will be able to search and save diagnoses, receive alerts when a drug-diagnosis interaction is contraindicated, generate diagnosis reports, and create forms. With the integration of SNOMED CT, patient responses can be standardized and therefore more easily exchanged with other electronic health records. Driven by a mission to enable the clear exchange and analysis of health information for all, this initiative offers SNOMED International the opportunity to deliver on its humanitarian goals: expanding access to the clinical terminology, reducing the barriers to SNOMED CT adoption and helping governments and countries better understand how to enhance and evolve their existing digital systems to realize the benefits of SNOMED CT. The initiative, which will also enable an implementation showcase and demonstrate the terminology’s powerful utility, is an excellent example of SNOMED International’s commitment to waiving fees for not-for-profit organizations that use SNOMED CT non-commercially for the betterment of people living in rural areas and for resource-constrained countries at the early stages of their digital health transformation. It also demonstrates the organization’s commitment to integrating with other health data standards in an effort to simplify reporting to other global organizations such as the World Health Organization and to be a good “global standards citizen.” “We are extremely excited to see this project develop and take shape,” said SNOMED International CEO Don Sweete. “As an organization whose mission is to benefit the health of humankind, we are honored to be able to contribute to this international and collaborative effort, to be part of an initiative that will have such a positive impact on patients and healthcare organizations in regions that most need it.” The benefits In addition to providing access to standardized and accurate clinical data and clinical decision support, the initiative supports the development of better healthcare policies and public health initiatives. The adoption of SNOMED CT by close to 50 Member countries and by thousands of affiliate license users in non-Member countries also facilitates the use of the module around the globe and the exchange of health data across borders, further extending its utility. Next steps Launch of the module at the end of 2023 will enhance clinical decision support use cases for drug-drug interactions and allergies. It will also focus on improved HL7 FHIR compatibility, integration with the SNOMED CT data analytics tool, enabling WHO ICD-10 reports, and integration with a new micro FHIR terminology server.

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.

Armenia’s electronic health record journey strengthened through SNOMED International membership Back 10 Mar 2020 Back Since the date of issue, this information is now out of date and has been archived. It has been made available for reference. London, United Kingdom, March 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As 2019 drew to a close, the Republic of Armenia’s Ministry of Health signed on as a Member of the SNOMED International community. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Armenia elaborates and implements the policies of the Republic in the healthcare sector. The Republic holds authority for the implementation of Armenia’s e-Health system, a single information platform supporting stakeholders of the country's medical institutions, citizens, and the state healthcare providers. The goal of the system is the usage of modern information and communication technologies, providing high-quality, safe, accessible and cost-effective medical services to the public; Tenets of which SNOMED CT supports in full. With a roadmap introduced by the Minister of Health at the end of 2017, SNOMED CT is well positioned to support the implementation of Armenia’s unified electronic information system approach through the provision of clinical terminology. Through the contribution of a structured clinical terminology, Armenia can leverage SNOMED CT to support delivery of projected system outcomes including the accuracy and relevancy of clinical information, a reduction in clinical miscommunication, and the ability to effectively use data to drive system-wide care decisions. 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. The addition of Armenia as a Member has grown the organization’s membership reaching further into Eurasia, now representing nine countries in the Asia Pacific region. “We are exceedingly pleased to be able to play a role in the Republic of Armenia’s national electronic information system implementation”, offers SNOMED International CEO, Don Sweete. “Through Protocol Decision no 43 and a definitive roadmap, Armenia sets its sights to improve the effectiveness, transparency and accuracy of health care interactions for their citizens, something that SNOMED International is proud to take part in progressing.” Since 2017, the Government of Armenia has dynamically installed e-health system in all hospitals throughout the country. In this ongoing process to achieve great results, the Ministry of Health of Armenia adopted a policy of integration of the data to be accurate, reliable and complete. For this reason, Armenia joined SNOMED International as a member country in 2019 to promote health information coding, health research and health records. Future integration and sharing of data will enhance and support clinical decisions and planning health policy. The Government of Armenia strongly has a belief that integration of SNOMED CT will not only support more accurate clinical decisions, but will also enhance productivity and patient safety. This is one step forward to unifying different local health systems. Armenia’s membership heightens the capability for clinical interoperability within the Asia Pacific region as well as leverages knowledge sharing among regional and international counterparts. SNOMED CT is part of the national infrastructure to ensure the exchange of accurate, relevant and timely information across all the information systems to support direct care, self-care and secondary uses of health information.
