Summary
The 2020-2025 SNOMED International draft strategy includes the proposal for the current content in the International Edition to segmented into 2 components:
- A clinical core of priority use clinically validated content that can be globally used in an unambiguous manner.
- Active maintenance
- Existing International Edition content that is not part of the core.
- Passive maintenance
The mechanism used to segment the content has not been determined and is out of scope for this discussion.
The CMAG has been asked to provide input on what content should be considered for inclusion in the Clinical Core.
Some initial questions to consider:
- Which hierarchies/ sub-hierarchies could be included/excluded?
- Content with context
- X present, X absent
- History
- Relates to someone other than the subject of the record e.g. Mother
- Concepts used to define other concepts
- Within the core and/or other editions
- Foundational hierarchies e.g. Body structure, Observables
- Qualifier values e.g. Action values, Colours etc...
- Compound content e.g. X with Y, X without Y, X due to Y etc.
- Alignment with other Terminologies, Classifications and Standards
- Navigational concepts e.g. |Procedure by body site|
