Deployment of Panorama throughout BC and Yukon. Replace iPHIS system with Panorama. Configure Panorama to match BC & Yukon business and user needs. Integrate Panorama with other Public Health information systems in BC (e.g. Client and Provider Registries, PLIS, etc).
Scope
SNOMED CT will be used to encode clinical information (e.g. diseases, agents, antigens, signs and symptoms, causative agents, etc).
How SNOMED CT will be used
Use of SNOMED CT in Panorama was mandated by Canada Health Infoway as the Canadian code system of choice for representing clinical information. Use of SNOMED CT was dictated also by HL7 messaging standards developed by Canada Health Infoway.
