Comparing pharmacologic classes in NDF-RT and SNOMED CT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Clinical decision support systems and semantic mining require interoperable representations of pharmacologic classes across reference terminological systems. We explore two such systems: NDF-RT and

Evaluating standard terminologies for encoding allergy information
OBJECTIVE Allergy documentation and exchange are vital to ensuring patient safety. This study aims to analyze and compare various existing standard terminologies for representing allergy information. METHODS Five terminologies were identified, including the Systemized Nomenclature of Medical Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT), National Drug File-Reference Terminology (NDF-RT), Medication Dictionary f...
متن کاملOntology customization for biomedical informatics
Semantic technologies, such as comprehensive biomedical ontologies (e.g., SNOMED CT [1]), and ontology mappings linking several ontologies (e.g., SNOMED CT, NDF-RT [2], and RxNorm [3]), are offered as valuable tools to the biomedical community. However, due to the high degree of specialization in health care and life sciences, two undesirable scenarios might occur: (i) the whole breadth of an e...
متن کاملLetter: Further revamping VA's NDF-RT drug terminology for clinical research
Biomedical terminology and vocabulary standards (for the purposes of this correspondence , we use the terms 'terminology,' 'vocabulary' and 'ontology' interchangeably.) play an important role in enabling consistent, comparable, and meaningful sharing of data within and across institutional boundaries, as well as ensuring semantic interoperability. An important domain for developing standardized...

متن کاملInteroperability of Medication Classification Systems: Lessons Learned Mapping Established Pharmacologic Classes (EPCs) to SNOMED CT
Interoperability among medication classification systems is known to be limited. We investigated the mapping of the Established Pharmacologic Classes (EPCs) to SNOMED CT. We compared lexical and instance-based methods to an expert-reviewed reference standard to evaluate contributions of these methods. Of the 543 EPCs, 284 had an equivalent SNOMED CT class, 205 were more specific, and 54 could n...
