SNOMED CT is being used to define evaluation criteria for concept-based rule logic and understand potential use cases for the derivation of actionable clinical insights through alerts/reminders, cohort identification, and clinical documentation improvement.

The ability to understand clinical context for patients and populations rests on our understanding of clinical terminology in a variety of health information systems. SNOMED CT is foundational to our terminology infrastructure that enables both real-time concept detection from free text as well as real-time computation against clinical data sources in a way that adds value to an existing body of knowledge.

The following are use cases for this approach: Location: Okehampton, United Kingdom 

  • Detection of clinical concepts in unstructured text and conversion to SNOMED CT

  • Alerting of evidence-based interventions in EHR workflows that reduce mortality, readmissions, and cost

  • Identification of patient cohorts to clinical trial enrolment

  • Detection of undocumented diagnoses to improve clinical documentation and to complement population health efforts

Description

  • Cohort

  • Clinical Trial Recruitment Detection

  • Undocumented DM1, DM2, Gestational DM Genomics

  • Clopidogrel Metabolism and CYP2C19 Gene Quality

  • Heart Failure

  • Aldosterone Antagonists Calculation

  • CAP

  • Pneumonia Severity Index Monitoring

  • Diabetes Mellitus

  • HbA1c Safety

  • Beers Criteria

  • Unnecessary Care

  • Avoiding CK-MB (heart muscle damage test)

  • Testing for Acute Coronary Syndrome

  • And Countless Others…

Scope

SNOMED CT is being used to support the following:

  • Enabling guideline and decision support systems to provide real-time advice

  • Enhancing audits of care delivery

  • Allowing accurate and comprehensive searches that identify patients

  • Enhancing audits of care delivery

  • Reducing costs of inappropriate and duplicative testing and treatment

  • Raising the cost-effectiveness and quality of care

How SNOMED CT will be used

SNOMED CT was chosen due to its ontological basis allowing leveraging of computer-based assertions to support inferencing within decision-support systems.
