Clinical decision support
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

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.
