What is Simple mode used for?

In Simple Mode, a user can create a request to perform a single action on one concept:

  • create a new Concept
  • Add a new Description to an existing concept 
  • Add a new  Relationship to an existing concept 
  • Modify an existing Description of an existing concept 
  • Change a Relationship of an existing concept 
  • Retire a Description of an existing concept 
  • Retire Relationship of an existing concept 
  • Change or Retire an existing Concept 
  • Other - all requests not covered by the above types

What was Direct mode used for?

Direct Mode has previously been available, but since the inclusion of axioms to SNOMED CT, we cannot guarantee that this mode will works as expected. It is therefore not a recommended approach to use until further notice. 

What is Batch mode used for?

In Batch Mode, a user can create a request to perform a multiple (typically) related actions


Form Fields

In each of the Simple and Direct modes, there are certain fields which are mandatory and need to be completed on each request:

  1. Which mode is used to add a new synonym?

     

  2. Patrick McCormick - you can use either the simple or direct mode. If you are requesting a number of synonyms on different concepts then you'd find batch more time efficient. 

  3. I want to request 30-40 new organisms. Do I need to do this via the web portal? Or is there an easier way to submit this many? I want SNOMEDs for Carbapenem resistant organisms that do not already exist.

    1. Hi Abigail Jones, please see the instructions on how to Create a Batch Request which will let you import large batches of new content requests.

  4. Just received an enquiry about which field to use in the batch xls for Local Snomed codes. The table above says this one:

    Local SNOMED CT CodeAdd the local valid SNOMED CT identifier of the content to be added if one exists

    The batch xls only has "Local code" or "Local term" not "Local snomed code" Is it possible to label the xls column for the Local Snomed Code please. thanks, Monica

    1. We will see if this can be done easily without breaking anything.

  5. What is meant with 'Terminology(1)' "version of terminology used as a resource"  in the batch import template ? It is not clear to me which value I need to chose when creating a new concept because it is lacking in the international edition of SNOMED CT.
