SNOMED International updates and Editor's Update

Update on odontogram ref set

1. Additional concepts will make this more efficient

Review Periodontal Disease concepts

1. What do we need to add to represent stable vs unstable
2. Is there any need to alter the current recommended submissions to represent periodontal disease grades and stages (unstable)?

Review Tiered spreadsheet of gingival diseases

1. Are there any changes, reclassifications, alterations needed?
2. How would people like to proceed regarding “combined” concepts that use qualifiers such as “due to”, “exacerbated by”, etc.
1. Shall we precoordinated or is post-coordination adequate?

Review Implant and other concepts for periodontal classification system

1. Are there additional concepts that are needed?
2. Is a different structure/hierarchy of the concepts needed?
3. What do we need to represent for the assessments segment, as some/much of this might already be available within the electronic records systems?  Do we need to differentiate specifically for periodontal risk in some way?

Determine interest in procedures workgroup.  If possible, it would be good to set up a small group to bring this to the CRG.  There is considerable work that may need to be done with substances, anatomy, etc. to make it as accurate and effective as possible. 

1. Who is interested in volunteering for a small work group
2. What are the key issues (substances and anatomy noted above)  the group would need to evaluate?

Shall we change meeting days or times?

Update on possible meeting times for April meeting, as this will be associated with our regular business meetings.
