SNOMED CT is the main clinical terminology in Helseplattformen EHR representing diagnoses, patient nursing plans and medication. This enables closed loop medication, advanced clinical decision support, and efficient reporting to health registries by FHIR profiles. SNOMED CT is a primary factor for interoperability across different operating systems and to bridge primary and secondary health care services.
Description
Since 2019, the implementation of the Helseplattformen Electronic Health Record (EHR) has been underway, heralding a significant leap in healthcare technology within the Central Norway region. This system is built on the foundation of Epic Electronic Patient Journal (EPJ).
In May 2022, Trondheim municipality was the first to use the new EHR system. Today Helseplattformen is operative for 39200 health workers, 9 hospitals, 34 municipalities, 71% of the population in Central Norway, 2 GP offices, 2 emergency care centers, all hospital labs and pharmacies.
Helseplattformen EHR utilizes SNOMED CTs hierarchal structure (disorder, finding, procedure (to some extent), substance, body structure) to facilitate a wide range of functionality. From diagnose making, registering patient nursing plans, a closed-loop medication management system, clinical decision support and allergy warnings to efficient reporting to health registries by FHIR profiles. SNOMED CT provides Helseplattformen EHR with a solution to interoperate across different operating systems and bridge primary and secondary health care services.
Scope
SNOMED CT is the only terminology/ standard with the potential to enable us to interoperate across different operating systems and bridge primary and secondary health care services.
How SNOMED CT will be used
Helseplattformen EHR utilizes SNOMED CTs hierarchal structure. Disorder, finding, procedure (to some extent), substance, body structure hierarchies are used to facilitate a wide range of functionality in the system. From diagnose making by doctors, registering patient nursing plans, a closed-loop medication management system, clinical decision support and allergy warnings to efficient reporting to health registries by FHIR profiles.
