We have extensive experience of using SNOMED CT in health care products. We have helped clients create SNOMED CT enabled products and we also use SNOMED CT in products we offer to the NHS. We can assist you in accessing content and specific features of SNOMED CT.

We have created subsets that are used within our own products and also helped design them for clients, including national programmes. We have a deep understanding of the needs of clinical users in using SNOMED CT for data entry (too many results, word order, relevance of results,etc) and how subsets can be leveraged to meet clinical requirements, while avoiding the challenges associated with refsets.

We have designed data entry screens that leverage SNOMED CT content using basic functionality like string matching to advanced features like Expression Constraint Language (ECL) queries for dynamically constraining data entry. We have also built end to end demonstrators that showcases how SNOMED CT coded healthcare records can be stored and retrieved – using both pre and post-coordinated data and queries.

For enterprises and national programmes requiring their own SNOMED CT content (extension), we have expert knowledge and practical experience in helping.

• Establish release and maintenance processes
• Establish process for identifying delta content and upcoming changes in International Edition
  • Content of interest for translation, or of interest to refsets – including tools around it.
• Establish quality assurance process (and metrics) around content

We have helped clients realise the benefits of SNOMED CT data analytics. We understand the rules around the complex maps published by NHS Digital and SNOMED International and can assist you in fulfilling your mandatory dataset and reporting requirements.

We have experience of supporting implementation activities in three national programmes – UK, Singapore and Sweden. Members in our team have also been elected to Advisory (Committee) roles in SNOMED International. We worked closely with NHS Digitial in the design and delivery of their strategy of national pathology standards, based on SNOMED CT.
