Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Osteopathic Medicine

Background:

  • SNOMED CT is a vital, licensed medical terminology for electronic health records.
  • Osteopathic terminology is essential for documenting osteopathic patient encounters.
  • Existing SNOMED CT content was insufficient for the osteopathic community's needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the inclusion of osteopathic terminology within SNOMED CT.
  • To identify gaps in SNOMED CT relevant to osteopathic practice.
  • To integrate essential osteopathic concepts into SNOMED CT.

Main Methods:

  • The Authorized Osteopathic Thesaurus was utilized as a resource.
  • Osteopathic terminology content was compared against SNOMED CT.
  • Key osteopathic concepts not present in SNOMED CT were identified.

Main Results:

  • A significant number of important osteopathic concepts were found to be missing from SNOMED CT.
  • The Authorized Osteopathic Thesaurus contained crucial terminology for osteopathic encounters.
  • The comparison highlighted substantial content gaps.

Conclusions:

  • Integration of osteopathic terminology into SNOMED CT is necessary.
  • Enhancing SNOMED CT with osteopathic content will improve its utility for osteopathic practitioners.
  • This integration supports comprehensive electronic health record development.
