Value Added • Automatic classification • When do two expressions mean the same thing? • Automatic cross-mapping/integration • Multilingual natural language generation • Smooth extension and maintenance • Local autonomy and ‘loose coupling’ • Efficient indexing
Classification ManagementThree country specific examples: The Dutch Centre NHS/CCC French CCAM
UK: NHSCCC Cross-validation • 2500 ‘atomisations’ imported from NHS CCC • 25% of surgical procedure chapter • Endocrine, cardiovascular, gynaecology, ear, male urology, lymphatic surgery • Derived classification compared with manual classification • Substantial agreement despite independent working • Differences detect errors and omissions on both sides • Corrections in latest READ release attributed to this work
Further UK efforts • PRODIGY - Terminology for Decision Support • Ongoing • UK National Drug Dictionary • Discussions in progress
France: CCAM Goal - to harmonize 2 different systems: CDAM for DRG in hospitals NGAP for billing the fees of physicians
CCAM (Classification Commune des Actes Médicaux) 1) a flat list of labels 2) validate lists for clinical completeness 3) a pilot lists in use The problem: jargon labels 4) to insure the compliance to CEN / ENV 1828 5) to control the semantic representation (Galen modeling) 6) Natural language generation for QA Final Product
CCAM (Classification Commune des Actes Médicaux) 11 chapters prepared so far within national project 3 chapters completed within GIU 8 chapters within a contract with the ministry 4 additional chapters planned for future
Consensus Method 6 full day meetings, 10 specialists Ad hoc, scattered update > 5 manmonth effort 5 Rubrics need revision Turnaround 8 months Invisible costs Constant high cost of maintenance GALEN Method 2 half day meetings, 5 specialists One time dissection, 1720 Rubrics = 2.5 manmonth effort 20% Rubrics need revision Turnaround 2 months Clear defined cost Decreasing cost of maintenane Initial cost much lower than expected The Dutch Centre: EconomicsUpdate of ICPM-DE version 2.420 new rubrics in Musculo-Skeletal Surgery
Further efforts with Dutch Centres • Royal Dutch College of Physicians • Discussions started • Netherlands Paramedic Institute • Continued co-operation scheduled for 1999 • ‘Pain’ Classification • Clinergy-like PDMS foreseen for 2001 • Work on ICPC-2 started • Continue on ICIDH-2
International: Discussions with WHO • Meeting 23 June Geneva • Pilot on ICIDH-2 started in 31 July 1998 • Strong interest for test in ICD 10 • Renewed interest in Procedures
Other standards • CEN, ISO, CORBAMed, G7, … • Definition of CorbaLex Standard
Summary/Questions It is now working Who will hold the Dissections and Intermediate Representation?

GALEN • GALEN Combines: • Formal logical representation and ontology • User oriented Intermediate representation • Naturallanguage presentation • Mapping to existing coding systems • Indexing of other information • GALEN supports loosely coupled development • User oriented Classification Workbench (ClaW) • Comprehensive tools for central services (TIGGER/KNOME)
But “It doesn’t make the coffee” • GALEN is not • A complete decision support system • A complete medical record system • A complete mediation system • A complete knowledege management system • GALEN is • A key enabling technology
GALEN does add value • Automatic Classification / normalisation • Automatic cross-mapping / integration • Multilingual systems • Smooth extension and maintenance • Empowering users • Efficient indexing
The GALEN Intermediate Representation Categorial Structure of Procedures Links and Constraints
The GALEN Intermediate Representation • A Realisation of CEN ENV 1828 • Easy to learn and use • Well supported by tools • An common language for describing procedures • Independent of any specific underlying representation • Convertable to GRAIL • And probably most other formal representations
