Study Notes
SNOMED CT Overview
- International revisions of SNOMED CT are released biannually.
- The organization responsible for the distribution of SNOMED CT in the US is not the Office of the National Coordinator.
- SNOMED CT is not merely a classification system; it is designed to encode and report clinical diseases and diagnoses comprehensively.
SNOMED CT Concepts and Relationships
- Concepts are unique units of knowledge defined by a specific combination of characteristics.
- Mapping has been established between SNOMED CT and other medical terminologies, encompassing a broad range of healthcare data.
- Post-coordination in SNOMED CT represents a single concept, while pre-coordination combines multiple concept codes for clinical meanings.
- Defining attribute relationships for concepts like bacterial pneumonia include multiple characteristics.
Mapping and Collaboration
- SNOMED International and Regenstrief Institute collaborate to develop a comprehensive mapping between SNOMED CT and LOINC.
- An extension mechanism allows authorized entities to add unique concepts or descriptions to the SNOMED CT International Release.
Tools and ICD-11 Insights
- The SNOMED CT browser serves as a tool for exploring and searching SNOMED CT content.
- A notable feature of ICD-11 is the implementation of multi-layered manifestations.
- ICD-11's structure allows for a flexible number of linearizations, contradicting the notion of a fixed count.
ICD-11 Development and Structure
- Derivative linearizations in ICD-11 are structured to be versioned.
- Post-coordination involves specifying multiple codes for a particular condition.
- The Foundation Component underpins cross-linearization mapping.
- The ICD-11 core development group was made up of clinical disease experts, ensuring informed updates and changes.
- The foundation component does not include residual categories such as "not otherwise specified."
- Each foundational component rubric is assigned a permanent, globally unique identifier.
Diagnostic Criteria and Rubric Structure
- ICD-11 will introduce diagnostic criteria, enhancing its content model compared to ICD-10.
- Each rubric within a linearization holds a singular parent, maintaining strict hierarchies.
