This chapter delves into two crucial aspects of cancer synoptic reporting with SNOMED CT: information models and terminology bindings.

Information models serve as the framework for organizing cancer data elements, guaranteeing consistency and interoperability across various systems.

Terminology bindings forge the essential connection between these data elements and SNOMED CT concepts, ensuring uniform representation and exchange.

The chapter provides practical insights into designing the general cancer report structure, including sample forms to demonstrate cancer synoptic reporting protocols.

Additionally, detailed explanations of SNOMED CT bindings are provided, highlighting their significance in seamlessly implementing standardized cancer data capture and exchange mechanisms.

This part of the guide presents any information model relevant for this project, as determined by the project objectives

• This may be a newly developed information model, or an abstract logical model, which provides part of the solution presented in this project.
  • In this case, the rationale and summary of experiences that were the basis of this model should be presented, and
  • Examples of how existing information models support the 'new' model may be provided
• This may be existing information models designed to support the described use cases
  • In this case, just a high-level introduction should be given, and links to the source documentation should be provided 

This section also describes the role of SNOMED CT within the described model(s), and this may include:

• An introduction to SNOMED CT subsets that may be used as value sets
• Details about relevant bindings

Title of this chapter may be changed to be descriptive of the scope of this guide
