TUTORIAL 1 - 13.00-17.00 Tuesday 1st July 2008, NEC Birmingham

Title

Introduction to SNOMED CT

Introduction

This tutorial provides a basic introduction to SNOMED CT and is aimed at those delegates who do not have a detailed knowledge of the SNOMED CT terminology. It will look at the history of clinical coding and the emergence of SNOMED CT and will explore the differences between traditional classification coding and use of a terminology within clinical systems.

SNOMED CT contains around 400 000 clinical concepts and the session will include an overview of how these concepts are structured and what the terminology contains. The tutorial will go on to look at how the terminology is to be used in clinical systems and the benefits that it seeks to bring in supporting clinical processes.

TUTORIAL 2 - 13.00-17.00 Tuesday 1st July 2008, NEC Birmingham

Title
Binding SNOMED CT to detailed clinical information models

Introduction
Practical clinical uses of care records requires that their content is searchable, sharable and reusable in ways that take account of the meaning of clinical information collected from diverse sources. A common form of representation of clinical meaning is required to enable interoperability between applications and to meet the needs of different clinical disciplines and specialties. This common form needs to encompass the way that terminology is integrated with standard reference information models.

This tutorial highlights the need to integrate SNOMED CT with detailed clinical information models in order to meet application design and implementation requirements. It explains the requirements for effective, consistent and reusable representation of similar information in ways that support the complete information life-cycle (including entry, storage, communication and selective retrieval). It describes a method for the systematic integration of SNOMED CT with detailed clinical information models to address these requirements.
