Introduction
‘Go-compare’
Key Messages
• We are seeing the biggest change in healthcare
that we’ve seen in years
– Care model is going to change
– Electronic records are driving improvements
in care
• Shared care
– Wherever the patient goes, the person
treating them should have access to key
information
Key Messages
• Analysis of patient data throughout
healthcare will be used to improve patient
care
• IT needed to support the growing
knowledge that helps personalised patient
care, e.g. NICE guidelines, stratified
medicine
• This will take time
Where are we now and where are we
going?
Where are we now – Primary care?
Where are we now – Secondary care?
Where are we now?
• Primary care and secondary care are not as well
joined up as they could be
Primary
Care
Secondary
Care
Strategy
• Aim for the NHS: Patient centred – patients can view
own records
• Actions:
– Interoperability – move data around electronically
– Record once, use many times
• All require a common standardised vocabulary
11
Framework for Action
• The National Information Board (NIB) document
“Personalised Health and Care 2020: A Framework for
Action”:
– endorses the move to adopt a single clinical terminology –
SNOMED CT – to support direct management of care
– will actively collaborate to ensure that all primary care
systems adopt SNOMED CT during the financial year of
2017 – 2018
12
Framework for Action
• The National Information Board (NIB):
– States the entire health system should adopt SNOMED CT
by April 2020
– During this time, we must also work with local authorities to
understand and address the implications of this for social
care.

SNOMED CT in Applications
• SNOMED CT has been implemented in many
applications and as has been shown in the previous
slides should not make things complicated
• Clinicians should just see terms they are familiar with
using and not even realise they are SNOMED CT
terms

Success with SNOMED CT
Things are normally in the singular, e.g.
eye not eyes
When searching don’t always use full
words, e.g. diab would return both
diabetic and diabetes
Don’t enter words like “and”, “to” and “the”
Success with SNOMED CT
Use techniques similar to how you currently
search the internet and medical publications
Search for significant words and don’t worry
about the order, e.g. implant lumbar cath would
return implantation of lumbar epidural catheter
Try common abbreviations, e.g. PID for
prolapsed intervertebral disc
Subsets
What is a SUBSET?
• SNOMED CT is extensive – it is supporting a
common vocabulary for all healthcare specialisms,
and all healthcare professionals, as well as keeping
up to date with current practice
• A subset is ‘smaller set of SNOMED CT ‘ that meets
a particular requirement
• A SNOMED CT subset can be a group of concepts,
descriptions or relationships chosen for relevance
under certain conditions or in certain contexts
Why Subsets?
• In an ophthalmic theatre department

How Applications use Subsets
•

•
•
Supports easier navigation
Can be used to limit to specific SNOMED CT codes
Can act like a ‘favourites’ for the end user
Can be used nationally or locally –synchronised national
releases
• Access to subsets may be role based
