  1. Can YOU talk Population Health? Have YOU heard of the National Public Health Language? • What is the aim of this project? • To be the Public Health sub-set for SNOMED CT • To integrate: • The PHO language for interoperable websites • The HDA/NICE language • The Department of Health Thesaurus • The Integrated Public Sector Vocabulary • The new EU Public Health Portal (Europa website) • …to ensure that a National Library for Public Health works efficiently consistently using a National, (or even International) Public Health Language Introduction: For too long, as public health professionals, we have worked with an unsystematic set of keywords to describe and frame our discipline. The explosion of opportunities in knowledge management has meant that a more systematic approach to describing our work has become necessary. Over the past few years in the UK and Australia there has emerged a developing Public Health Language. Help it develop: be part of the future! Early examples in use • Who is contributing to this work:? • SNOMED CT (NHS) • Department of Health • Public Health • Observatories in Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England • - National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence • PCTs and Public Health Networks • e-Government, • British Medical Journal PH • YOU? • AND there is similar work in Australia: (Public Health Classifications Project) see: http://www.nphp.gov.au/workprog/phi/index.htm What could I use a population health language for? Tagging resources in a population health knowledge management system… Labelling the filing cabinets in my department… Checking our CPD programme is comprehensive… Ensuring my personal development plan is broad as well as deep… “Consistent but flexible libraries and languages are essential to help us develop a National Knowledge Service For Public Health” Sir J A Muir Gray More details from:Peter Cornelissen (peter.cornelissen@rdd-phru.cam.ac.uk) or David Pencheon (david.pencheon@rdd-phru.cam.ac.uk).Eastern Region Public Health Observatory. www.erpho.org.uk
