Method for testing SNOMED CT in a defined clinical domain

چکیده
This paper presents the results of a study in which SNOMED CT has been tested in clinical practice by combining quantitative and qualitative methods. An application has been developed for registration of vascular diseases and procedures using SNOMED CT concepts. We conclude that it requires clinical and technical insight to adapt the terminology to a defined clinical domain.

OBJECTIVE This study sought to develop and evaluate an approach for auditing the semantic completeness of the SNOMED CT contents using a formal concept analysis (FCA)-based model. DESIGN We developed a model for formalizing the normal forms of SNOMED CT expressions using FCA. Anonymous nodes, identified through the analyses, were retrieved from the model for evaluation. Two quasi-Poisson regr...
متن کاملAuditing the Semantic Completeness of SNOMED CT Using Formal Concept Analysis
Design: We developed a model for formalizing the normal forms of SNOMED CT expressions using FCA. Anonymous nodes, identified through the analyses, were retrieved from the model for evaluation. Two quasiPoisson regression models were developed to test whether anonymous nodes can evaluate the semantic completeness of SNOMED CT contents (Model 1), and for testing whether such completeness differs...
متن کاملA Method to Compare ICF and SNOMED CT for Coverage of U.S. Social Security Administration's Disability Listing Criteria
We developed a method to evaluate the extent to which the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF) and SNOMED CT cover concepts used in the disability listing criteria of the U.S. Social Security Administration's "Blue Book." First we decomposed the criteria into their constituent concepts and relationships. We defined different types of mappings and manually mappe...
