Subsets What is a SUBSET? SNOMED CT is extensive – it is supporting a common vocabulary for all healthcare specialisms, and all healthcare professionals, as well as keeping up to date with current practice A subset is ‘smaller set of SNOMED CT ‘ that meets a particular requirement A SNOMED CT subset can be a group of concepts, descriptions and/or relationships chosen for relevance under certain conditions or in certain contexts
Subsets WHY SUBSETS? it is often desirable to constrain the SNOMED CT concepts available to a subset, say to help faster data entry – so for example, all possible performed procedures in a radiology department.
Subsets HOW APPLICATIONS USE SUBSETS • Supports easier navigation • Can be used to limit to specific SNOMED CT codes • Can act like a ‘favourites’ for the end user • Can be used nationally or locally –synchronised national releases • Access to subsets may be role based
Summary Care Record Patient summary record Contains allergies, adverse reactions, medications (current repeat, discontinued repeat, acute). Additional information with patients consent such as current diagnoses eg diabetes, asthma This SCR clinical data is stored using SNOMED CT Provides consistent recording and semantic interoperability across a mixed coding domain
Choose and Book GP produces referral letter as template or dictation Consultant reviews and accepts referral GP and patient decide that referral is appropriate, and creates appointment request Patient makes choice of provider with information support Appt. booked by the patient via internet or phone, or in the practice
