This is a reminder that we have a meeting of the Nursing CRG on 18 November at 2000 UTC.
We want to focus discussion on implementation of SNOMED CT and how nurses are working with their EHRs, and identifying use cases that you have nationally or locally, along with any issues/questions that are being raised. This will enable the group to explore key areas of work which the group can focus on going forward.
And we will provide an update on SNOMED International work relevant to nursing, including our work with ICN to incorporate ICNP into SNOMED CT.
We look forward to 'seeing' everyone on 18 November 2020 at 2000 UTC and meanwhile please let us know if you have any discussion points you would like to raise.
The agenda can be found at 2020-11-18- Nursing CRG Meeting and here are dial in details as well.

Dear all,
We are hosting a meeting of the Genomics and Precision Medicine CRG Meeting on the 2nd December 2020 at 17:00 UTC.
The focus of the meeting will be to start the discussion on how SNOMED CT can best support the future implementation of Precision Medicine. SNOMED International is looking to develop a high level descriptive document that will inform the community on the use of SNOMED CT to meet this use case. The meeting will provide background detail, and then will look to the audience to participate in discussion.
We look forward to receiving your comments and thoughts,
Regards,
Ian Green

The Organism and Infectious Disease Model (OIDM) Project Group is to be “sunsetted”. The project files will be archived on the SNOMED Confluence site (Archive - Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Health Professions Coordination Group (HPCG) and Clinical Reference Groups (CRGs). Work on the organisms hierarchy is being suspended because the Member Forum has not given the work a high priority to allow for provision of editorial resources. Costs associated with completed work have been limited to project and editorial review.
The OIDM project established that the organism hierarchy represents populations of actual organisms in any realistic stages of their life span or life cycle. The project established major naming convention guidelines for the organism hierarchy. Two content projects were completed and one reached approval for construction. (IHTSDO-455) Removed the stages of organism life-cycles (to be treated as organism attribute values) while creating organisms “existing in” various stages of life cycles. (IHTSDO-1003) Clarified and simplified the upper levels of the SNOMED organism hierarchy. A single consistent taxonomic organisation was selected and implemented at the top level of the hierarchy (3 domains, prions & viruses). Removed a number of intermediate redundancies and corrected significant factual errors. IHTSDO - 1132 completed the analysis for revision and factual correction of the subhierarchy under “Antimicrobial resistant organism.”

The Clinical Engagement team would like to welcome all clinicians who are involved or interested in SNOMED CT, to attend the first in an ongoing series of meetings. The meetings will be held quarterly, with two meetings as webinars, and two meetings face to face in the scheduled SNOMED International Business meetings.
The first webinar will be held on Wednesday, 29th, January 2020 at 20:00 UTC. The meeting will last for two hours, and provide an overview of current clinical workgroup activity, and overview of clinical education developments. There will be time allocated for questions and discussions. In addition, the session will be recorded and made available to interested parties who are unable to attend.
The first face-to-face meeting will be held in London, at the SNOMED International Business meetings, on Wednesday, 8th, April 2020. The meeting will be a full day session. We are currently developing the agenda, and would welcome suggestions on agenda topics and discussion items. Please email your suggestions to igr@snomed.org
Details of the meeting and agenda will be published on this Clinical Engagement Confluence site closer to the time.
Hi all,
Many thanks to all who attended and presented at the clinical session in Kuala Lumpur. The session was very well attended, and we have received very positive feedback from all those attending and taking part. Details of the session, and the presentations are now available from the following link - 2019/10/30 - Malaysia: SNOMED supporting clinicians
We will be looking to undertake clinical sessions at future meetings, and will also be putting in place a regular quarterly clinical update webinar schedule. Further details of these sessions will be published on this blog, and also on the SNOMED International website.
Kind regards,

"Improving Healthcare Interoperability Project"
The report provides a realistic view of clinical registries currently, and also points to the future opportunities.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The healthcare ecosystem is in a state of flux with respect to the interoperability of clinical data. The call for healthcare data interoperability – and the promise of clinical data informing the learning healthcare system – is neither new nor novel, with work toward accomplishing the goal of data liquidity involving countless stakeholders extending across multiple decades. Despite the general acknowledgement of the need for interoperability, a plethora of initiatives, and federal leadership, the current state is quite distanced from the envisioned goal.
This project, Improving Healthcare Data Interoperability (the Project), intended to evaluate the state of healthcare data semantic interoperability and suggest recommendations for the roadmap forward, specifically from the perspective of clinical registries. The focus on clinical registries was purposeful – these registries produce actionable data for quality improvement and patient safety and should thus be at the centre of healthcare data interoperability. The key technical goals were to 1) determine the scope ofthe problem, by identifying core common clinical concepts captured across a large sample of registries and determining the degree of concordance of registry database (physical) representations with commondata models and national / international data standards, and 2) create an authoritative implementation guidance targeting database developers for the programming of the common core clinical concepts suchthat interoperability would be intrinsic to those data elements and not require a translation layer to communicate between computer systems. The findings of the technical work were then to informrecommendations for registry owners (and the larger healthcare ecosystem) regarding the roadmap forward.
Many thanks to all who attended the "SNOMED Supporting Clinicians" session at the 2019 SNOMED international Business meeting. The presentations, and links to various information are now available on a dedicated Confluence page - 2019-04-08 "SNOMED supporting clinicians".
Please review the information and use as you require.
We would also welcome feedback on the day, and also suggestions for future sessions dedicated to the promoting a clinical perspective of SNOMED CT.
