The Open Eyes development is an open source initiative which can be found at: http://www.openeyes.org.uk/.

Location: Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, City Road, London, United Kingdom

Description

Moorfields is a specialist eye hospital. The system is used by the consultant ophthalmologists.

Scope

SNOMED CT is used for recording diagnoses, procedures and drugs.

How SNOMED CT will be used

The information strategy from the Department of Health cites SNOMED CT as the terminology for use in the NHS in England. This approach has been endorsed by the British Medical Association as well as individual Royal Colleges such as the Royal College of Physicians. Development of a new system meant they were keen to fit in with the national strategy to enable them to be able to communicate with the other NHS organisations, for example GP's providing referrals to the hospital.
