This is what we use them for
Now imagine the uses if you remove internet
connectivity Voice calls SMS Camera A few games
5
An EMR alone is like a dumb phoneSnomed CT is
the internet of EMRs
  • It connects healthcare data across all entities
  • Allows very granular clinical data capture
  • Provides very powerful clinical analytics
  • It supports clinical decision support
  • and is used in over 50 countries. It is the
    best clinical terminology system today

6
Let us see how it is better than existing
healthcare coding systems
  • Let us compare it with ICD-10

7
More clinical terms
8
Codes for Ectopic Pregnancy in ICD-10
  • ICD-10 has five codes (terms) only
  • Abdominal
  • Tubal
  • Ovarian
  • Others
  • Unspecified

9
Terms for Ectopic pregnancy in SNOMED CT
Abdominal pregnancy Membranous pregnancy
Aborted ectopic pregnancy Mesenteric pregnancy
Angular pregnancy Mesometric pregnancy
Cervical pregnancy Miscarriage of tubal ectopic pregnancy
Combined heterotopic pregnancy Multiple pregnancy involving intrauterine pregnancy and tubal pregnancy
Combined intrauterine and ovarian pregnancy Mural pregnancy
Combined pregnancy Ovarian pregnancy
Combined tubal and intrauterine pregnancy Rudimentary horn pregnancy
Compound ectopic Ruptured ectopic pregnancy
Cornual pregnancy Ruptured tubal pregnancy
Delivery of viable fetus in abdominal pregnancy Secondary abdominal pregnancy
Fallopian pregnancy Simultaneous intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies
Fallopian tube pregnancy Tubal abortion
Heterotopic pregnancy Tubal pregnancy
Intraligamentous pregnancy Unruptured tubal pregnancy
Intraperitoneal pregnancy Viable fetus in abdominal pregnancy

Pneumonia as classified in ICD-10
Section Code Title
Infectious disorders B01.2 Varicella pneumonia
Infectious disorders B05.2 Measles complicated by pneumonia
Infectious disorders B20.6 HIV disease resulting in Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
Diseases of respiratory system J10.0 Influenza with pneumonia, other influenza virus identified
Diseases of respiratory system J11.0 Influenza with pneumonia, virus not identified
Diseases of respiratory system J12 Viral pneumonia, not elsewhere classified
Diseases of respiratory system J13 Pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae
Diseases of respiratory system J14 Pneumonia due to Haemophilus influenzae
Diseases of respiratory system J15 Bacterial pneumonia, not elsewhere classified

13
ICD is running out of codes
  • Since code numbers are the main stay of
    classification, and the number of diseases are
    very large in number, ICD is running out of
    codes.
  • Multiple disorders are being grouped under one
    code

15
Snomed CT has no limits on the codes that can be
used
  • No sharing of codes by two different conditions

16
Comparison of existing coding systems
Coding system ICD-10 ICD-10 PCS LOINC NANDA CPT4 SNOMED CT
Diagnosis Yes No No Partial No Yes
Procedures / operations No (except pregnancy related) Yes No No Yes Yes
Laboratory No No Yes No No Yes
Nursing No No No Yes No Yes
Special context (e.g not diabetic) No No No No No Yes
Meaning based analytics No No No No No Yes
17
Will SNOMED CT replace ICD-10?
  • Yes No
  • Clinical modules analytics would benefit from
    SNOMED CT
  • The medical records departments will continue
    ICD-10

18
Let us look at the nuts bolts of SNOMED CT
19
These are four different conditions (clinical
ideas)
  1. Ischemic heart disease
  2. Angina
  3. Unstable angina
  4. Myocardial infarction
  5. Heart attack
  6. Cardiac infarction
  7. MI

Same clinical meaning (idea)
Each clinical idea is called a concept
20
Each concept has a random concept number
  1. Ischemic heart disease 414545008
  2. Angina 194828000
  3. Unstable angina 4557003
  4. Myocardial infarction
  5. Heart attack
  6. Cardiac infarction
  7. MI

Same clinical meaning (idea) 22298006
21
The same concept has different translations
  1. Ischemic heart disease 414545008 - cardiopatía
    isquémica
  2. Angina 194828000 - angina de pecho
  3. Unstable angina 4557003 - síndrome preinfarto
  4. Myocardial infarction
  5. Heart attack
  6. Cardiac infarction
  7. MI

Same clinical meaning (idea) 22298006 - infarto
de miocardio
22
Independent system of classification

Ischaemic Heart Disease 414545008

24
Thus
  • Each clinical idea is a concept and has a unique
    concept number
  • Each concept number has multiple terms for it
  • In different languages
  • There is no limit on the number of concepts.
    Hence different conditions do not have to share
    the same code
  • Concepts are connected to other concepts (parents
    / children) independent of their codes multiple
    relationships
  • There are other relationships also, defining
    different properties of a concept

25
How do multiple relationships help?

How relationships help in decision support
Pick up all cases of cerebrovascular accident for
consideration for thrombolytic therapy
Use it to identify potential cohorts for clinical
trials for a new breast cancer drug.
Warn if the patient has any type of diabetes AND
any type of kidney disease
35
How is it used in a hospitals EMR?

40
How will clinicians benefit from it?
41
ICD-10 has very limited search no synonyms
  • The doctor may search for any of these terms for
    the same diagnosis
  • Renal calculus
  • Renal stone
  • Nephrolith
  • Calculus in kidney
  • Kidney stone
  • Kidney calculus
  • Only the term Calculus in Kidney exists in ICD-10
  • Such issues are present with most diagnosis

42
No abbreviations in ICD-10
  • The doctor may search by typing
  • COPD
  • MI
  • IHD

43
ICD-10 terms are not appropriate for printing
  What the doctor wants to write What is available in ICD-10 tables prints as such
  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Unspecified
  Ureterocele Other specified disorders of kidney and ureter
  Neonatal tetanus Other tetanus
  Achlorhydria Other specified diseases of stomach and duodenum
  Recurrent appendicitis Other appendicitis
  Indirect inguinal hernia Inguinal hernia
  Direct inguinal hernia Inguinal hernia
  Strangulated inguinal hernia Unilateral or unspecified inguinal hernia, with obstruction, without gangrene
  Hepatic encephalopathy Hepatic failure, not elsewhere classified
  Bird flu (H5N1) Influenza due to certain identified influenza virus
  Swine flu (H1N1). Influenza due to certain identified influenza virus

Summary
  • Snomed CT is the terminology that supports the
    EMR. On its own it does nothing
  • It is very clinician friendly
  • It is multilingual
  • It allows very powerful data analytics
  • It augments decision support capabilities of an
    EMR
