Comparing coded patient data is difficult due to multiple classification versions. A new Terminology Version (TV) Manager helps navigate and compare different SNOMED CT versions for better data comparability.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Terminology Management

Background:

  • The use of diverse versions of medical classifications and terminologies hinders the comparability of coded patient data.
  • While annual classification updates (e.g., ICD-10) are manageable with conversion tables, complex terminologies like SNOMED CT, with biannual releases in multiple languages and formats, pose significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a system for managing and comparing different versions of complex medical terminologies, specifically SNOMED CT.
  • To facilitate the search and navigation within synchronized presentations of selected SNOMED CT versions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a version management system named Terminology Version (TV) Manager.
  • Implementation of functions for synchronized searching and navigation across selected SNOMED CT versions.

  • Integration with external software systems to extend qualitative and quantitative subtree comparison capabilities.

    • Main Results:

    • The TV Manager provides a structured approach to handle multiple SNOMED CT versions.
    • The system enables synchronized browsing and searching across different terminology versions.
    • Extended functionalities allow for detailed comparisons of specific terminology subtrees.

    Conclusions:

    • The Terminology Version (TV) Manager addresses the challenge of comparing coded patient data across different terminology versions.
    • This system improves the comparability of health data by enabling effective management and analysis of SNOMED CT versions.
    • The integration with external tools enhances the analytical power for medical terminology research.
