Why a dictionary is needed? “There is a lack of standardisation in the UK in describing medicines, appliances and medical devices, in how such descriptions are organised, and in linking knowledge required for decision support to these descriptions” Section 3.21
What will be done? “Work will begin on a national project to develop the UK Standard Clinical Products Reference Source (UKCPRS), bringing together all existing initiatives associated with the coding of drugs etc” Information for Health Section 3.22
UKCPRS • The initial products of the Programme: • PCDD (Primary Care Drug Dictionary) • PPA (now NHS Prescription Services) • SCDD (Secondary Care Drug Dictionary) • NHSIA (now NHS CFH) • MDD (Medical Devices Dictionary) • NHSIA (now NHS CFH) • The three dictionaries (PCDD, SCDD, MDD) combined to become the NHS dictionary of medicines and devices (dm+d)
What the dm+d provides: • a unique stable identifier (code) for all drugs and devices • a standard term (description) for all drugs and devices • a structure in which this information will be held What the dm+d does NOT provide: • knowledge for decision support • application functionality
Use Cases • Primary Care • GP Prescribing • GP Dispensing • Nurse Prescribing • NHS Dental Prescribing • Community Pharmacy Dispensing • GP Personal Administration • NHS Prescription Service • (was PPD) Reimbursement • Decision Support links • Electronic Prescribing Guidelines • Secondary Care • Prescribing – no product specified • Prescribing – product specified • In patient Dispensing • Out patient Dispensing • Tablets to Take Away (TTA) Dispensing • Administration • Patient Group Directive Protocols • Ward Stocks • Formulary/Protocol Development • Purchasing
dm+d 5-box data model Paracetamol 500mg Tablets
dm+d 5-box data model • These are all VMP concepts in dm+d • They all have a unique SNOMED CT identifier (Code) and a unique term (description) • e.g. Paracetamol 500mg Tablets has SNOMED CT Code 322236009
dm+d 5-box data model • In dm+d the VMPs • Paracetamol 500mg tablets • Paracetamol 500mg soluble tablets • Paracetamol 500mg capsules • Paracetamol 120mg suppositories • are all associated with the higher level concept with the description • As you can see one VTM may have many VMPs associated to it
dm+d 5-box data model VTM Paracetamol VMP Paracetamol 500mg Tablets
dm+d 5-box data model If we now look at the VMP : Paracetamol 500mg tablets Many companies could make these tablets e.g. Paracetamol 500mg tablets (Actavis UK Ltd) Paracetamol 500mg tablets (Aspar Pharmaceuticals Ltd) Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) • As you can see one VMP may have many AMPs associated to it
dm+d 5-box data model VTM Paracetamol AMP Panadol 500mg Tablets VMP Paracetamol 500mg Tablets
When we add pack information to the description of a AMP we describe a concept known as the Actual Medicinal Product Pack (AMPP) in dm+d dm+d 5-box data model If we now look at the AMP : Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) This company supplies these tablets in different pack sizes Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) 16 tablet 2 x 8 tablets Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) 12 tablet Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) 32 tablet 4 x 8 tablets
dm+d 5-box data model dm+d 5-box data model So the AMP : Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) Can have many AMPPs Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) 12 tablet Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) 16 tablet 2 x 8 tablets Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) 32 tablet 4 x 8 tablets
dm+d 5-box data model VTM Paracetamol AMP Panadol 500mg Tablets VMP Paracetamol 500mg Tablets AMPP Panadol 500mg Tablets 32 tablet 4x 8 tablets
This higher level concept is called a • Virtual Medicinal Product Pack (VMPP) dm+d 5-box data model Look at the following AMPPs Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) 32 tablet 4 x 8 tablets Paracetamol 500mg tablets (Teva UK Ltd) 32 tablet 4 x 8 tablets Paracetamol 500mg tablets (Aspar Pharmaceuticals Ltd) 32 tablet 4 x 8 tablets They all have the same VMP Paracetamol 500mg tablets and all have the same pack size The only difference is that they are supplied by different companies All the above AMPPs are associated with the higher level concept with the description
dm+d 5-box data model So the VMPP : Paracetamol 500mg tablets 32 tablet Can have many AMPPs Panadol 500mg tablets (GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) 32 tablet 4 x 8 tablets Paracetamol 500mg tablets (Teva UK Ltd) 32 tablet 4 x 8 tablets Paracetamol 500mg tablets (Aspar Pharmaceuticals Ltd) 32 tablet 4 x 8 tablets
dm+d 5-box data model VTM Paracetamol AMP Panadol 500mg Tablets VMP Paracetamol 500mg Tablets VMPP Paracetamol 500mg Tablets 32 tablet AMPP Panadol 500mg Tablets 32 tablet 4x 8 tablets
dm+d 5-box data model Each dm+d concept has additional information associated to it (Attributes) e.g. VMP Paracetamol 500mg Tablets Has the attribute of dose form populated with tablets Has the attribute of routepopulated with oral The different dm+d concepts have different attributes associated to them that are applicable to the concept level Some but not all of the attributes have SNOMED CT identifiers
NHS Standard SNOMED CT as a Fundamental Standard • SNOMED CT has been approved as a Fundamental Standard by Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care (ISB HaSC). The Information Standards Notice (ISN) issued to notify this approval signals that SNOMED CT will be mandated for coded business interchanges between electronic healthcare record systems which support individual patient care by 2015. • Where pharmaceutical products are required to be represented then dm+d should be used.
NHS Standard dm+d as a ISB Fundamental Standard • The Information Standards Board (ISB) approved dm+d as NHS Standard for communicating medicines information (an Interoperability Standard). • Electronic systems that exchange or share information about medicines relating directly to a patients care must adhere to the Standard by using dm+d identifiers when transferring information and should also use dm+d descriptions • For licensed medicines only at this stage. Other content within dm+d such as medical devices are excluded in terms of complying with the Standard although users can use all the content within dm+d • Health and Care Organisations, System Suppliers and Pharmaceutical companies must comply with requirements in standard by 30th June 2017 • The Electronic Prescription Service, Summary Care Record and Electronic Yellow Card Reporting already meet the requirements of this standard • For further information on the ISB standard http://www.isb.nhs.uk/library/standard/84
Information Strategy The Power of Information: Putting all of us in control of the health and care information we need • DH Strategy document makes specific reference to the use of SNOMED CT and dm+d • It recommends that where IT systems reference medicines they use dm+d for coded information • Standardising on a single set of identifiers means that IT systems can more easily interoperate and information more readily shared
4 Key Points about dm+d • dm+d concepts have unique identifiers and associated textual descriptions • dm+d consists of a 5-box data model • All dm+d concepts and some attributes use SNOMED CT concept identifiers • It is designed for both primary and secondary care
Any questions? Please put yourself on mute when not talking. Many Thanks.
