Leveraging SNOMED CT with a General Purpose Terminology Server
نویسندگان
چکیده
General purpose terminology server software facilitates coordinated use of multiple standard medical terminologies for diverse healthcare applications. SNOMED CT is an important clinical reference terminology, whose size and scope make advanced terminology server capabilities particularly useful. Moreover, capabilities tied to SNOMED CT’s special features and requirements can result in substantial further benefits. Enhancements to a general purpose terminology server have been developed to facilitate the tailored creation, validation, organization, deployment, distribution, submission and maintenance of (postcoordinated) extensions to SNOMED CT.

Projection and Inheritance of SNOMED CT Relations between MeSH Terms
This paper proposes a methodology to achieve the automatic inheritance of SNOMED CT relations applied to MeSH preferred terms using UMLS as knowledge source server. We propose an interoperability wildcard to achieve this objective. A quantitative and a qualitative analysis were performed on top four SNOMED CT relations inherited between MeSH preferred terms. A total of 12,030 couples of MeSH pr...
متن کاملImplementing rules to improve the quality of concept post-coordination with SNOMED CT
The use of SNOMED CT as a standard reference terminology enables interoperability between clinical systems. This reference tool provides a method for creating post-coordinated terms by users according to local needs. While the creation of these terms is free, there are a number of rules, as defined in the user manual of SNOMED CT that must be followed.The Hospital Italiano of Buenos Aires has a...
متن کاملIntegrating Semantic Medical Entity Relations for Disease Prediction Using SNOMED-CT Terminology
Methods: In this paper, we propose a novel context-enhanced disease prediction approach based on leveraging semantic and contextual medical entity relations. Patient signs and symptoms are first mapped to SNOMED-CT concepts, which compose a feature space for disease prediction. Our major contributions in this paper consist of expanding the feature space using semantic and contextual concept rel...
متن کاملA method for encoding clinical datasets with SNOMED CT
BACKGROUND Over the past decade there has been a growing body of literature on how the Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) can be implemented and used in different clinical settings. Yet, for those charged with incorporating SNOMED CT into their organisation's clinical applications and vocabulary systems, there are few detailed encoding instructions and examples ava...
متن کاملA Study of Semantic Proximity between Archetype Terms Based on SNOMED CT Relationships
The OpenEHR archetypes have been suggested as a standard for detailing data models of electronic healthcare records, as a means of achieving interoperability between clinical systems. But, mapping terms of these clinical data models to a terminology system, such as SNOMED CT, is a crucial step to provide the required interoperability. Through this study, we aim to understand better how archetyp...
