Medical data encoding in EHR

At first, SNOMED-CT terminology will be used for the capture of surgical procedures in our operating room management software. In a near future, we plan to generalize the use SNOMED-CT to capture medical information (in structured fields or using NLP technology on unstructured text) in our EHR.

The idea is to be able to use these codified data for:

• fulfillment of contribution to national health registers
• implementation of smart medical alerts and decision supports
• data analytics for quality and efficiency improvement
