2 | SNOMED and LOINC - representing allergy testing in SNOMED |
|
Jca: Is this something that would require SNOMED resources at this time? In other words, do we need to develop a project proposal to be approved by the SMT for resource allocation? Or is it something that can be done independently and then a more formal proposal for a project can be developed once you know what is needed? Also, it would be very nice if we could communicate to LOOINC some of the issues you note as it would be my intention that we would not create new observables directly in the International release, but we would focus on getting the LOINC parts right and then using those to generate LOINC extension concepts. I do not see a wholesale addition of allergy observables into the international release but can see this exercise helping to improve the content in LOINC as well as SNOMED. As for the LDTs, my impression is that if we can identify them, they should be out of scope (much as they are for the SHIELD project). Bgo: Jim, I think there are a few considerations. Given the age of the allergy test content in SNOMED, if we intend to keep this content (now as observables rather than procedures) we should provide some needed updates in the SNOMED core to make it clinically useful. This could be undertaken independently and would be limited to adding new missing whole allergen IgE tests (e.g. Measurement of immunoglobulin E antibody to galactose-alpha-1,3 galactose (procedure)) but perhaps more importantly would be the addition of component allergen testing. Component resolved diagnostics (CRD) is an important part of in vitro allergy testing for the reasons I mentioned in my prior e-mail. Although there are hundreds of available tests, I think we could limit this to a manageable number based on importance. Further down the road we should develop a proposal to create a SNOMED extension that includes additional content from LOINC such as adding class reporting as well as adding additional tests to both the SNOMED extension and LOINC. In terms of communicating some of the issues, I did speak with Eza Hafeza, Director, Clinical Terminology Services and Operations (we used to work together in CMT) about the problem using “RAST” as a method for class results. I was told a fix will occur at some point. In terms of LDTs, I seem to remember in the past there was a field in LOINC that contained the submitters but I don’t see that at present. | |||||

4 | Remodel and naming of 788802000 |Allergy to cetuximab (finding)| | There is a CRS request questioning the naming of this concept. The modelling suggest that the concept should have a terming similar to 788781001 |Delayed allergy to red meat (finding)|. Here is the comment by the requester: "This concept has some very odd additional modelling, such as additional causative agent of 788778006 |Galactose-alpha-1,3 galactose (substance)|, a clinical; course of sudden onset and due to a bit of tick. Probably better to make inactive and author a new allergy to cetuximab concept. The other modelling looks like it should have been 788781001 |Delayed allergy to red meat (finding)| apart from the onset." The references I have checked support the requester comment: | ||||||
