Welcome to your new space!
This is the Mapping SIG Project migrated from Collabnet - https://csfe.aceworkspace.net/sf/projects/mapping_sig/
For more information please see the ds documentation and help guide.
Keen to join this SIG?
Most IHTSDO Confluence users do not need accounts. In contrast to IHTSDO's previous collaborative space ("Collabnet," or "TeamForge"), Confluence allows non-registered users to browse topics and delve into project spaces without logging in. You can participate in this IHTSDO Special Interest Group (SIG) without having a Confluence login.
So why would you need an account? Registered members of the SIG will have the opportunity to participate in the process of nominating and recommending the appointment of future SIG Chairs. If you wish to actively participate in this project - commenting on pages, marking off when you have completed an action, uploading documents for discussion, etc. - then you need an account. If so, please fill out the form on this page.
Confluence account application forms will be reviewed by an administrator to determine whether an account is necessary for the stated purposes.
Focus
The focus of this group is to provide an international platform for the sharing of experience and expertise in mapping between SNOMED CT and other clinical terminologies and classifications.
Roles
- Chair: Hazel Brear (2015-2016)
- Vice-Chair: Accepting nominations (2015-2016 then chair 2017-2018)
- IHTSDO staff liaison: Ian Green
Meetings
- Second Monday of every month for one hour

Announcements
Future direction of the Mapping SIG
Please review the updated proposals for the future direction of this group. We wish to consult with all members over the next 4 weeks. There will be a discussion of the proposals at the February 8, 2016 meeting followed by voting for your preferred option by February 15, 2016. The proposal is attached to the page of the January 11, 2016 meeting.
High-level role groupers in the Substance hierarchy have been intended to support the organization of the hierarchy based on roles. An example of such a role grouper is 373265006 |Analgesic (substance)|. Substance role groupers have been an issue in SNOMED CT for many years. Role based groupers are associated with a particular purpose or outcome. A role does not belong to a substance per se but instead is associated with a manufactured product and its usage.…
The proposed changes are detailed in the attached briefing note, and relate to radiographic imaging
Implementation of the content changes specified in this informational briefing note will commence in Q4 2023.
The changes have been based on feedback recieved.
SNOMED International in collaboration with the The International League Against Epilepsy is working on improving the seizure and epilepsy content within the sub hierarchies of
313287004 |Seizure related finding (finding)| and 84757009 |Epilepsy (disorder)|.
To assist content users briefing notes are being provided as changes to content are released. Briefing notes on previous changes may be viewed here.…
To update the SNOMED CT community on the replacement of the use of 363703001 |Has intent (attribute)| and value of Therapeutic intent in procedure concepts with a 260686004 |Method
(attribute)| value of Therapy - action, where appropriate. The potential number of affected concepts is nearly 2000.
This briefing note is a continuation of work communicated by a December 2021 briefing note titled, ‘Inactivation of procedures stating intent as diagnostic or therapeutic’.…
The representation of ethnicity and race varies from country to country. For example:
https://www.doi.gov/pmb/eeo/directives/race-data https://www.doi.gov/pmb/eeo/directives/race-data
https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/style-guide/ethnic-groups https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/style-guide/ethnic-groups

As part of the QI project, transplantation procedures are being remodeled. To fix incorrect subsumptions changes need to be made. At present surgical transplantation procedures are classifying as subtypes of grafting procedures due to the placement of 410820007 |Surgical transplantation - action (qualifier value)| as a subtype of 129407005 |Grafting - action (qualifier value)|.…
The attached briefing note summaries the proposed resolution to the Observable entity and Evaluation procedure hierarchies. They were created in the early 2000s and have been maintained as separate hierarchies even though the content is overlapping in many areas. This has created confusion and inconsistency in how observation information is represented in record systems and in SNOMED CT.…
The attached briefing note summaries the proposed changes to subtypes of 67770001 |Male mammary gland structure (body structure)| and 91532001 |Female mammary gland structure (body structure)| and their associated
disorder and specimen concepts.
Body structure concepts that specify male or female in descriptions and that are not unique to a specific sex (e.g. male/female breast) are to be considered for inactivation. The concepts
modeled by these structures are also to be inactivated.…
Abstract submission deadline extended to May 2
What's better than attending an exciting conference? Being part of it! Submit an abstract for an oral presentation or an e-poster to see your name on the program at this year's SNOMED CT Expo. In addition to being an excellent professional development opportunity, you'll be a part of the ever-expanding SNOMED CT global community, which thrives when users share their knowledge and expertise.

In the UK, in response to the Mental Health Taskforce https://www.england.nhs.uk/mental-health/taskforce/, there was a drive to make sure people experiencing first-episode psychosis have timely access to evidence-based care. The NCCMH (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health) developed the guidance documents to support this, commissioned by NHS England.…
SNOMED International and the International Diet Dysphagia Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) have signed an agreement to incorporate IDDSI Framework v2.0 content into SNOMED CT to enable use in electronic health records globally.
Peter Lam, IDDSI Chair, expressed that, “The agreement with SNOMED is another exciting and positive step to meeting IDDSI's goal of improving the safety of people of all ages, all cultures, and in all care settings, who are living with dysphagia.…
As you will be aware, historically we have had a pathology and laboratory medicine group which unfortunately has been inactive for the last few years. We have now identified new clinical leads for the group, and are looking to relaunch the group. The first meeting will be on 24th, March 2022 at 20:00 UTC. Details of the meeting and Zoom details are available on the groups Confluence site - Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Clinical Reference Group.…
Definitely have a read, this is a very informative article, on a key clinical area . . .
Background: Kidney biopsy registries all over the world benefit research, teaching and health policy. Comparison, aggregation and exchange of data is however greatly dependent on how registration and coding of kidney biopsy diagnoses are performed. This paper gives an overview over kidney biopsy registries,…
Dr. Dai Evans presents: "SNOMED CT implementation in UK general practice (England): A user’s perspective"
The implementation of SNOMED CT within GP clinical systems across England has been underway for a couple of years. This involved a migration from the existing legacy coding systems of Read version 2 and Clinical Terms Version 3 (CTV3) to SNOMED CT.…
There was a very interesting meeting of the Nursing Clinical Reference Group on 18 November with new attendees and a number of topics discussed - the recording is available on the Nursing CRG area.
We agreed that we would have our next call in December. We agreed 16 December but now need to amend the date.
The next meeting of the Nursing CRG will now be on Tuesday 15th December, 2100 - 2200 UTC. (note this slightly later time is only for this meeting).…
