MedTech I.Q.

The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

Colleagues,

Thank you to MedTech-IQ Member, Parvati Dev for the following heads up ...

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) announces the release of the first version of the CORE (Clinical Observations Recording and Encoding) Subset of SNOMED CT® (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine--Clinical Terms®).

The primary purpose of this Subset is to facilitate the use of SNOMED CT for coding of problem list data in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and to enable more meaningful use of EHRs to improve patient safety, health care quality, and health information exchange. The CORE Problem List Subset of SNOMED CT was derived based on datasets submitted by seven large scale healthcare institutions. The most frequently used terms (covering 95% of usage volume) from these institutions are mapped to the corresponding SNOMED CT concepts where such concepts exist.

Complete details about the subset are available from the NLM Web site at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/news/snomed_core_200907.html.

ENJOY!

CC
