Content Development – where we are, and where we want to be Ian Green Content Development Manager
Authoring capacity • Internal team √ • Chief Terminologist • 6 x authors • Consultant Terminologists √ • 9 x certified (Case, Cheetham,Fung, Goldberg, Muys, Reynoso, Richardson, Rogers, Wade) • 4 x working on certification • External contractors √ • 3 x external contractors currently (or soon to be) engaged in authoring activities (2 of whom – Reynoso, Wade – are also Consultant Terminologists) “Never was so much owed by so many to so few”
Current issues – across all strategic programs • Managing (clearing) the request submission backlog • Use of more liberalapproach (unmodelled leaf node additions) - 4,800 total outstanding requests, aim to author 3,800 • Managing and resolving issues in the content tracker • 671 Tracker items • Inception – 461 • Elaboration – 154 • Construction – 42 • Transition – 14 300 man years – 80% with 20% effort (60 man years) • Management, resolution and implementation of precoordination roadmap • 200 tracker items • Managing internally generated requests from SIGs • Should clinical requests from SIG’s take priority?
Issues going forwards • Horizontal modelling • Use of batch template-based editing • Tooling requirement • Review process • Increasing levels of authoring/content review • Expansion of capacity to deliver content review • Distributed asynchronous authoring • Further development of current ways of working • Tooling support for authoring activity within and outside the organisation
Growing the authoring community • Assumptions • Internal authoring resource will not deliver enough capacity • We need to maximise the authoring capacity we have access to • Consultant Terminologists will continue to assist in the process • Where possible we will continue to use external contractors • Current status - demand outstrips delivery • Increasing levels of request submissions • Large numbers of complex content issues to address • Increasing number of competing priorities
Where will capacity come from ? • Internal team • Planned increase in the internal authoring team (10 authors) • Improved tooling (ability to edit bulk changes) • IHTSDO community of practice • Consultant Terminologist Programme (CPT) • Regular author training sessions (open to all) • Bespoke training sessions provided on request • Maximising the use of CPT’s in national release centres • Clinical expertise • Engagement of clinical groups on specific topic areas • Tooling enhancements

ICD-11 Common Ontology Work (#8 in roadmap) • Seeking to align SNOMED CT and ICD-11 development • Initial topic area: circulatory diseases • Has identified significant gaps in SNOMED CT content • Relative to the expanded draft ICD-11 content, as developed by WHO Topic Advisory Groups • Example: pulmonary hypertension
Example: Pulmonary hypertension Prompted by query from US FDA for drug indication coding (we had the concept but it was poorly labeled) Before revision: 36 concepts After revision: 57 concepts, (reorganized, restructured)
Implications for content authoring • Need to identify gaps across all 22 disease chapters • Independent input from clinical groups (slow, hit-or-miss) • Proactive identification via • Comparison with ICD-11 draft • Literature searches for verification • Requests to IHTSDO NRCs for surveillance of user needs? • Need to develop consensus views of changes needed to SNOMED CT • Conversations with ICD-11 Common Ontology Working Group • Queries via WHO team to WHO Topic Advisory Groups • Need to update content in identified gap areas • Effort required: see next slide
(8) ICD-11 linkage and integration Rough estimate of amount of effort required: Extrapolated Actual Sept 2012 9,523 concepts / 20 concepts per day = 476 days of effort (~22 mythical man-months)
