SNOMED in action

Provide pertinent medical information about MedicAlert members to emergency responders and health care professionals.

This initiative aims to further the adoption of standards for synoptic cancer pathology reporting through implementation of electronic tools across Canada. The College of American Pathologists (CAP) cancer protocols were adopted as a national content standard for cancer pathology reporting in July 2009.

Implementations of synoptic surgery reporting in selected jurisdictions across Canada are currently underway. Pan-Canadian content standards for surgical reporting templates have been developed for eight disease sites and relevant clinical indicators have been identified.

To support the translation and maintenance of respiratory best practice guidelines and performance indicators for electronic medical records and/or electronic heath records across Canada. PRESTINE will meet the needs of patients, providers, administrators, researchers, and policy makers to facilitate evidence-based clinical care, monitoring, surveillance, benchmarking, and policy development.

To redesign the immunizations’ module in the CWS of ICS for both primary and hospital care, and making its information interoperable.

The objective is to share the experiences of implementation of SNOMED CT in different healthcare centres and organizations.

Planned use for capture of medical information (diseases, procedures, complaints, etc.) in our EHR and further reuse of these data for communication with other hospitals, fulfilling national registration obligations, alerts and health statistics.

To allow vendors, care facilities and care providers to achieve semantic interoperability, compliance with EMR standards of India and to achieve health information exchange.

Chart Synergy EHR is a cloud based mobile/web health records system that facilitates cost-effective collection, storage, transmission, and analysis of clinical data. It enables health care providers to better manage their patient records, streamline their business processes, gain insights from data collected, and make more informed decisions.

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 College of Occupational Therapists, the UK professional body for occupational therapists, has developed a number of occupational therapy subset standards in collaboration with its members which should be used for all service user care records, whether they are stored digitally or on paper. All the subsets are specified using SNOMED CT, and are aimed at supporting Occupational Therapy practice in the UK, within systems supporting clinical practice.

CIEL provides a standardized, multilingual, multinational concept dictionary consisting of interface terminology mapped to reference terminologies including SNOMED CT to support the OpenMRS EHR (particularly in low resource settings).
