Ontario DATIS was created to store substance addiction and problem gambling data for the treatment agencies funded by MoHLTC. Interoperability of DATIS information with the ICES databases, as required by Ontario, will be based on use of Infoway standards, including SNOMED CT. It is suggested to develop a reference set of SNOMED CT to capture information collected by DATIS on a regular basis.

Genomics is the new frontier in clinical care and scientific discovery. Genomic assessments of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, that is gene loci associated with cancer development and prognosis, is rapidly becoming the standard of care for cancer. Current molecular pathology reports are represented and stored in the electronic health record (EHR) as pdf documents and are not suitable for clinical decision support and data analytics. Incorporation of genetic data into the EHR as discrete data is not standard practice because of the complexity of the data itself (ADDIN RW.CITE{{2326 Warner,J.L. 2016; 2166 Masys,D.R. 2012}}(1, 2) and underrepresentation of genomic concepts in the SNOMED CT and LOINC concept models (ADDIN RW.CITE{{2327 Hoffman,M. 2005}}(3). Investigators at the University of Nebraska Medical Center used the SNOMED CT observables concept model and authored fully defined observable entity concepts for genomic information including Next Generation Sequence (NGS) data and non-sequence based molecular data. These SNOMED CT concepts are deployed in the clinical information systems at UNMC beginning in the laboratory and molecular pathology information systems and bound to molecular observations. Encoded molecular data is then transmitted to the EHR and the institutional cancer tissue biobank and registry for clinical care, quality and research purposes.
CIEL provides a standardized, multilingual, multinational concept dictionary consisting of interface terminology mapped to reference terminologies including SNOMED CT to support the OpenMRS EHR (particularly in low resource settings).

Evolent Health partners with health systems across the United States to improve quality of care. Polypharmacy is a focus area due to its prevalence in the elderly and chronically ill patients, and its association with increased cost, adverse drug effects, medication non-adherence and other suboptimal outcomes. Definitions of polypharmacy range from measuring total number of medications with various cut-offs to the use of high-risk or unnecessary medications. Location: Chicago, IL, United States

Synoptic operative report templates enable clinicians to capture and display succinct clinical information in a standardized and logical manner. Synoptic operative report templates also provide the optimum goal of enriching personalized health information of a given patient at the point of care so as to support the exchange of clinical information across the continuum of multiple healthcare providers. However, most of the available synoptic operative report templates in many clinical settings do not incorporate interoperable standards in their design and implementation. This project implemented a template (i.e., eSOR-SCI) that uses interoperable standards for its design and implementation. The implementation of the eSOR-SCI template was completed in September 2012. It was designed to be conformant with the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) Implementation Guide for the Operative Note and to represent clinical activity using the HL7 Clinical Statement pattern encoded with Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine–Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) terminology.

The Alberta WebSMR was designed to capture real time, post operative patient specific information through electronic synoptic reporting for the purposes of creating/implementing cancer surgery guidelines and improving patient outcomes. Location: Alberta, Canada
Implementations of synoptic surgery reporting in selected jurisdictions across Canada are currently underway. Pan-Canadian content standards for surgical reporting templates have been developed for eight disease sites and relevant clinical indicators have been identified. Location: Canada
This initiative aims to further the adoption of standards for synoptic cancer pathology reporting through implementation of electronic tools across Canada. The College of American Pathologists (CAP) cancer protocols were adopted as a national content standard for cancer pathology reporting in July 2009. Pilot implementations in two jurisdictions were successful and as such, implementation in 5 additional provinces is currently underway. Additional expansion in one jurisdiction is also underway.
