Head of Implementation & Education
IHTSDO
International Health Terminology
Standards Development Organisation
Changes in IHTSDO
 New CEO Don Sweete
 “IHTSDO is open for business”
 Key focus on Customers – the 26 Members of IHTSDO

Implementation & Education
 Staff
 David Markwell
 Linda Bird
 Tom Seabury
 SNOMED CT Implementation Advisor Scheme
 Six people on 2014 SIA Scheme
 Eleven people went through SIA scheme in 2012 & 2013
 In 2014 main focus of Implementation & Education
 Information models, analytics, terminology binding & expressions
 Adoption, adaption and sharing of subsets
 Represented as Simple Refsets
 Need for descriptive data about sharable resources
 Online education
 Presentations and skills assessments
Useful EHR systems don’t just display raw data, they also
deliver derived knowledge about the current situation
A record of the full history of moves
in a chess game may not help a
player choose his next move

… but , a chess board view derived
from that record of moves makes
the current situation understandable
Geographic knowledge linkage

A map, a satellite view, crime
statistics, photographs, local
restaurants
Linked knowledge in action

Longitude and latitude provide a common
reference model for geographic information that we
now take for granted

Recognising interdependencies

Practical consequences of interdependency between terminology
and structural information models are often underestimated

Information models cannot be terminology neutral
 SNOMED CT implementation is dependent on tight integration with
standard information models

Developers of clinical terminologies and clinical information models
should adopt policies that facilitate ‘dependency aware evolution’ of
their contributions
There must be collaborative development
between the SNOMED CT Concept Model
and an information model in order for
effective implementation of SNOMED CT

How many bridge building techniques?
IHTSDO … open for business on information
models and terminology binding
 Information modelling and terminology binding is on the
IHTSDO work plan for 2014
 Additional strength in the team
 Linda Bird joining as Implementation Specialist
 + several SIAs with relevant skills and experience
 but …
 Which group(s) to work with and how
Puzzling questions for IHTSDO!
 Who to work with?
 How many groups to work with?
 Which model/pattern representations? (prefer ONE)
 Which representation of terminology components?
 Precoordination – one code
 Postcoordinated expressions
 Postcoordination in models
 How much of the model interests IHTSDO?
 Terminology of course … but also structural elements impact semantics
… where are the boundaries
 Very little interest in demographics
There are big mountains to climb …
What our customers need
 What do IHTSDO Members need?
 Meeting immediate needs
 Simplification without compromise
 What are the clinical use cases?
 Many and varied but they follow several common patterns
 What are the vendor drivers?
 Need scalable implementation approach
 Growth of market plus … retention or growth of market share
 Improvement of SNOMED CT while avoiding disruptive change
 Stepwise implementation from simplistic code use to rich
semantics
 An accessible base-camp and a route towards a summit
