Message from Dr Lambot
I take this opportunity to share with you - and through you I hope with the SNOMED CT allergy interest group - this preview of the work that I have done. Not so much the work on matching the international concepts to our french local expressions, which answers but to a local need, but the work I have done "extracting" the substances from the "allergy to" definitions to have a correspondance between what will be captured with the allergy-to concept IDs and what will be indexed with the CBB model. And also where I added concepts when I felt some families of "allergy to" concepts were incomplete with regards to the existing substance concepts that can be of clinical relevance in an EHR. I have left my "problems" column even if it's in French, so one could know there are for me unresolved issues with those concepts (usually unresolved regarding the Clinical Building Blocks model of capture or their clinical relevance for our dictionnary).
I hope you and the membres of the allergy group will find it interesting. I can't send this work yet through Confluence, having not yet gained access.
It is of course only 500 concepts we have gone through on the more then 1000 available for allergies and our work will continue.
(I have posted the spreadsheet under "documentation", to allow access)
