Download or read book Structural Indicators for Effective Quality Assurance of Snomed Ct written by Ankur Agrawal and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Standardized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT - further abbreviated as SCT) has been endorsed as a premier clinical terminology by many national and international organizations. The US Government has chosen SCT to play a significant role in its initiative to promote Electronic Health Record (EH R) country-wide. However, there is evidence suggesting that, at the moment, SCT is not optimally modeled for its intended use by healthcare practitioners. There is a need to perform quality assurance (QA) of SCT to help expedite its use as a reference terminology for clinical purposes as planned for EH R use. The central theme of this dissertation is to define a group-based auditing methodology to effectively identify concepts of SCT that require QA. As such, similarity sets are introduced which are groups of concepts that are lexically identical except for one word. Concepts in a similarity set are expected to be modeled in a consistent way. If not, the set is considered to be inconsistent and submitted for review by an auditor. Initial studies found 38% of such sets to be inconsistent. The effectiveness of these sets is further improved through the use of three structural indicators. Using such indicators as the number of parents, relationships and role groups, up to 70% of the similarity sets and 32.6% of the concepts are found to exhibit inconsistencies. Furthermore, positional similarity sets, which are similarity sets with the same position of the differing word in the concept's terms, are introduced to improve the likelihood of finding errors at the concept level. This strictness in the position of the differing word increases the lexical similarity between the concepts of a set thereby increasing the contrast between lexical similarities and modeling differences. This increase in contrast increases the likelihood of finding inconsistencies. The effectiveness of positional similarity sets in finding inconsistencies is further improved by using the same three structural indicators as discussed above in the generation of these sets. An analysis of 50 sample sets with differences in the number of relationships reveal 41.6% of the concepts to be inconsistent. Moreover, a study is performed to fully automate the process of suggesting attributes to enhance the modeling of SCT concepts using positional similarity sets. A technique is also used to automatically suggest the corresponding target values. An analysis of 50 sample concepts show that, of the 103 suggested attributes, 67 are manually confirmed to be correct. Finally, a study is conducted to examine the readiness of SCT problem list (PL) to support meaningful use of EHR. The results show that the concepts in PL suffer from the same issues as general SCT concepts, although to a slightly lesser extent, and do require further QA efforts. To support such efforts, structural indicators in the form of the number of parents and the number of words are shown to be effective in ferreting out potentially problematic concepts in which QA efforts should be focused. A structural indicator to find concepts with synonymy problems is also presented by finding pairs of SCT concepts that map to the same UMLS concept.

Health interoperability delivers health information where and when it is needed. Everybody stands to gain from safer more soundly based decisions and less duplication, delays, waste and errors. The third edition of Principles of Health Interoperability includes a new part on FHIR (Fast Health Interoperability Resources), the most important new health interoperability standard for a generation. FHIR combines the best features of HL7’s v2, v3 and CDA while leveraging the latest web standards and a tight focus on implementability. FHIR can be implemented at a fraction of the price of existing alternatives and is well suited for use in mobile phone apps, cloud communications and EHRs. The book is organised into four parts. The first part covers the principles of health interoperability, why it matters, why it is hard and why models are an important part of the solution. The second part covers clinical terminology and SNOMED CT. The third part covers the main HL7 standards: v2, v3, CDA and IHE XDS. The new fourth part covers FHIR and has been contributed by Grahame Grieve, the original FHIR chief.

Download or read book Mapping SNOMED CT to ICD 10 CM written by Junchuan Xu and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A SNOMED CT-encoded problem list is required to satisfy the Certification Criteria for Stage 2 "Meaningful Use". ICD-10-CM has replaced ICD-9-CM as the reimbursement code set in 2015. Having a cross-map from SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM would promote the use of SNOMED CT as the primary problem list terminology, while easing the transition to ICD-10-CM. There is no established principle and methodology on systematically and semantically linking SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM. This research project describes the development of mapping principle, mapping guidelines, mapping tools and mapping methodology for a rule-based crosswalk to support semi-automatic generation of ICD-10-CM codes from SNOMED CT-encoded data. A series of mapping guidelines were developed based on the clinical use case, SNOMED CT modeling convention, and ICD-10-CM classification guidelines. One of the important methodology in developing the map set is using triangulation in generating legacy maps. Using the SNOMED CT to ICD-9-CM map and General Equivalence Mappings sequentially, Indirect Map was generated from SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM for 96.2% of the SNOMED CT concepts within the scope of the study. Another innovation in this crossmapping research is implementation of a principle to handle age specification. The age rule was one type of rule to handle cases in which one SNOMED CT concept can map to different ICD-10-CM codes depending on the age of the patient. The age rule quality assurance (QA) was a mechanism to capture the age specification that can be easily missed by manual mapping. The results showed that the mapping guidelines ensured the mapping consistency, which potentially would reduce the mapping discrepancy between the two independent parallel mapping efforts. It also made it possible that the map set can be used in a meaningful way when data is exchanged. On this triangulation method in generating legacy map, an Indirect Map generated from SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM covered a very high percentage of SNOMED CT concepts. Overall, this Indirect Map had a moderate degree of agreement with the Direct SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM map. However, the indirect synonymy maps have much higher precision and can be used for quality assurance (QA) of the three maps. The age rule QA identified 342 out of 7,277 concepts which potentially required age rules, among these 50.3% turned out to be true positives. Without this QA, a large proportion of age rules in the published Map would have been missed. The outcomes of this research project include a set of mapping principle, mapping guidelines, mapping tools and mapping methodology for a rule-based crosswalk from SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM. All these could be used as a prototype in other cross standard mappings. For example, in the US, ICD-10-PCS officially replaced ICD-9-CM from October 2015 onwards. A project was formulating earlier this year (2015) for the purpose of creating the map from SNOMED CT procedure to ICD-10-PCS. It is a pleasant finding that tooling, principles and guidelines established in SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM mapping can be re-used, with modifications, for the PCS mapping process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall research question of this PhD research was: "How can the clinical value of the Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) be demonstrated in the primary health care setting to enhance patient care?" The position taken in this research is that there is clinical value in using SNOMED CT. To inform the current state of knowledge, a literature review of SNOMED CT papers catalogued by PubMed and Embase between 2001 and 2012 was carried out, and interviews were conducted with 14 individuals from 13 health care organisations across eight countries. The results showed there was a lack of understanding of how to craft post-coordinated expressions, how to fully utilise the semantics of SNOMED CT in data retrieval, and a lack of evidence on how SNOMED CT added value. A proposed SNOMED CT Clinical Value Framework that organised the primary and secondary uses of SNOMED CT was created and a SNOMED CT design methodology was formalised that consisted of three components to aid in auditing, encoding and retrieval through a primary health care study. In this PhD research, the potential clinical value of SNOMED CT was demonstrated by improving the completeness of clinical records and facilitating decision support features such as alerting clinicians to potential drug-allergy interactions, and reminding clinicians to order routine tests. The realisation of the potential clinical value was based upon the accurate and unambiguous manner in which clinical terms were encoded using the encoding method, the efficient and effective retrieval of relevant concepts using the retrieval method, and to a lesser extent, the ensuring that the concepts used were consistent using the auditing method.

This book was released on 2009-11-28 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joined-up healthcare makes information available when and where it is needed to improve safety, efficiency and effectiveness. Politicians may take interoperability between healthcare computer systems for granted, but it is non-trivial. Healthcare integration projects are notoriously under-estimated and come in over-budget and over-time. Joined-up healthcare depends on standards. The two leading standards are the SNOMED CT, which is a clinical terminology (semantics) and HL7 Version 3, which is a specialised healthcare interoperability language (syntax). Both are new, complex and fit for purpose. Tim Benson believes there is an unmet need for a book on Healthcare Integration. Some health informatics textbooks include chapters on HL7 and/or SNOMED, but these are usually quite short and cannot provide even an adequate introduction. There is little of much value on the Internet, or in journals or conference proceedings.
