  1. Terminology Tooling Options

  2. Terminology Tooling Options • Implementing terminology requires supporting tools • Tools required are highly dependant on the type of implementation • Covered in this presentation • Types of implementation activities • Types of tools required • Description of some available tools

  3. Setting the scene…

  4. Disclaimer… • This presentation mentions tools and vendors as examples • but doesn’t imply how good, bad or otherwise these tools are • and can’t cover all known tools • Where to find more • Australian Clinical Terminologies User’s Group • Available Terminology Products and Services forum page

  5. Local coding sets • Systems have existing code sets • Native replacement can be expensive and time consuming • Mapping can be used for interoperability • …however remember that maintenance of maps can also be costly Tooling needed - Mapping

  6. Native implementation • Store SNOMED CT / AMT codes in records • Display SNOMED CT / AMT preferred terms • Searching functionality with context based filtering • Custom widgets for screen use • Create and maintain value sets • Load new terminology versions • Retrieve/analyse SNOMED CT / AMT encoded data Tooling needed - User interface guidance and widgets - Process/manipulate release files (RF2) - Querying/searching - Reference set authoring - Mapping

  7. Native implementation • Customise language preferences • Add descriptions • Add concepts • Natural language processing • Store/process/render SNOMED CT expressions Tooling needed - Localisation/authoring - Natural language processing service - Compare and interpret SNOMED CT expressions

  8. Enterprise terminology management • Terminology distribution • Terminology configuration management • Conversion to proprietary formats • Customise language preferences • Query support • Add descriptions • Add concepts • Central real-time access to terminology services Tooling needed - Terminology servers/services - Localisation/authoring - Browsing - Compliance/testing

  9. Tooling landscape • Browsing • Process/manipulate release files (RF2) • Mapping • Reference set authoring • User interface guidance and widgets • Terminology servers/services • Localisation/authoring • Compare and interpret SNOMED CT expressions • Natural language processing • Compliance/testing

  10. Before we go through the tools • Not all possible tools are listed in this presentation – there are others • Listing of tools in this presentation doesn’t state how good, bad or otherwise the tools are • Tools are listed in no particular order • Tools won’t necessarily cover all features on the slide on which they are listed, but will have some relevant capabilities • You don’t need all of these tools – depends on what you are doing

  11. Browsing Example capabilities Existing tools Hierarchy/taxonomy view Concept definition and relationships Preferred and alternate terms Searching – syntactic and semantic SNOMED CT expression handling Export features Diagramming Browse/view reference sets Web based Federation Health Browser Healthbase AMT Explorer SnoFlake Download and install Snapper/Minnow IHTSDO Workbench Viewer SNOyowie SNOB CliniClue Snow Owl …many, many more

  12. Release file processing (RF2) Example capabilities Existing tools Import/transform SNOMED CT RF2 files Interpret Australian Dialect Reference Set Import and use reference sets Subsumption and transitive closure Process/export to proprietary formats NCTIS Reference Set Guide Application SNOMED CT Technical Implementation Guide Snofyre

  13. Mapping Capabilities required Existing tools Two distinct types of mapping local code set to SNOMED CT / AMT SNOMED CT / AMT to other code systems (e.g. ICD) “Auto” mapping Workflow management Version management Map maintenance SNOMED CT expression handling Snapper IHTSDO Workbench CareCom HealthTerm HLI LExScape Apelon TermWorks

  14. Reference set authoring Example capabilities Existing tools Browse/view reference sets Create new reference sets based on Individual concept selection Queries/searches/expressions Existing reference sets (unions, intersections etc) Maintain reference sets Update based on changes to underlying terminology Manage reference set versions and history IHTSDO Workbench Snapper HLI LExScape CareCom HealthTerm Ocean Subset Builder Apelon TDE Snow Owl

  15. User interface guidance/widgets Example capabilities Existing tools Guidance on user interface design/layout Widgets for integration in applications Microsoft Common User Interface CliniThink CLIP

  16. Terminology servers/services Example capabilities Existing tools Realtime Basic lookup Value set retrieval Searching – syntactic/semantic Expression processing Management Version management Conversion/export Publication/distribution Localisation/authoring Reference set authoring Mapping Apelon DTS HLI Language Engine CareCom HealthTerm Mondeca Conceptual Snofyre Ocean Terminology Server CTS2

  17. Language preferencesand authoring Example capabilities Existing tools Customise language preferences (Australian Dialect Reference Set) Create descriptions Create new concepts Classify IHTSDO Workbench Apelon TDE HLI LExScape CareCom HealthTerm Mondeca Snow Owl Snorocket

  18. Compare and interpret SNOMED CT expressions Example capabilities Existing tools Render expressions Compare expressions Store and retrieve expressions Convert between forms Snofyre Snorocket Snapper/Minnow CliniThink CLIP

  19. Natural language processing Example capabilities Existing tools Process text to SNOMED CT and/or AMT Individual concepts Expressions Render SNOMED CT expressions to natural language CliniThink CLIP CSIRO AEHRC University of Sydney

  20. Compliance/testing Example capabilities Existing tools Validate release file Format Structure Integrity Report on terminology errors Developer level tools under development at IHTSDO

  21. What tools do I need? • Depends upon what you are doing • Native implementation • Mapping and browsing • Localisation/authoring • Reference set authoring • Advanced native implementations • Expression handling • Natural language processing • Custom widgets • RF2 processing / terminology server

  22. What tools do I need? • Enterprise terminology management • Mapping and reference set authoring and management • Localisation/authoring • Distribution and configuration management • Load, conversion and export to proprietary formats • Real-time terminology service • Compliance/testing

  23. What tools do I need? • Local coding system, mapping at boundary • Browsing • Mapping
