Peer 1: SNOMED CT is the global clinical terminology that adds processable meaning to an Electronic Health Record. Enabling effective, meaningful representation of clinical information plays a pivotal role in worldwide endeavors to deliver cost-effective, high-quality healthcare. SNOMED CT is a valuable component of the EHR. It has been developed and validated by clinical, technical, and terminological experts. Realization of its potential benefits depends on the implementation, deployment, and practical use. Throughout the world dedicated health professionals work hard to provide high-quality care to a growing population with an ever-wider range of health needs.

Despite these best efforts, avoidable deaths and injuries occur, as busy practitioners miss key information about their patients or overlook evolving standards of best practice. The use of an Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a significant step forward. It improves communication and increases the availability of relevant information. Moving from paper to electronic documents is only part of the solution. The remaining challenge is to identify and link key facts in oceans of relevant data. A clinically validated, semantically rich, controlled terminology, like SNOMED CT, helps to make an EHR meaningful. Using SNOMED CT to represent clinical information allows meaning-based retrieval of information. A SNOMED CT-enabled EHR can be used to identify key facts, presenting opportunities to reduce the risks of errors of omission or commission. As a global enterprise, maintained by an international collaborative effort, SNOMED CT offers a vendor-neutral resource. As the clinical terminology of choice for EHR systems throughout the world, SNOMED CT is increasingly being used to link clinical knowledge in ways that contribute to the quality, consistency, and safety of healthcare delivery. (SNOMED CT – Adding Value to Electronic Health Records, 2014).  SNOMED CT is superior to ICD-10 for clinical representations due to its controlled focus on clinical concepts and multi-axial structure. While ICD-10 is designed as a hierarchical statistical classification system, SNOMED CT is represented by multiple levels of granularity. Some of these levels include:

Peer 2: SNOMED-CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms) is utilized in electronic healthcare records to create accessible, high-quality clinical content. It provides a systematic approach to representing clinical terminology that doctors capture and also supports automated interpretation. The major goal of SNOMED-CT is to encode meanings that are used in health information to supplement meaningful clinical data recording to improve care (Miarro-Giménez et al., 2017). The appropriate use of SNOMED-CT can benefit individual patients and doctors, the public, and enhance evidence-based healthcare.

In a clinical session, SNOMED-CT allows essential clinical information to be collected using consistent and recognizable visuals. It also promotes the sharing of relevant content among those involved in the delivery of treatment to patients via recorded data, allowing conventional comprehension and analysis of clinical evidence by all clinicians (Gaudet-Blavignac et al., 2018). The method allows for accurate and comprehensive searches that identify patients who require follow-up therapy changes based on the studied guidelines.

SNOMED-CT eliminates linguistic obstacles. SNOMED-CT also allows for the early detection of emergent issues, the monitoring of a population’s health, and the response to changes in clinical practices. It also allows for targeted and accurate access to essential data, as well as a reduction in costly duplications and errors. SNOMED-CT provides for the provision of relevant data to enable research and the addition of evidence to improve future services.

Finally, this technique improves care audit by providing the option for a detailed review of clinical records in order to investigate exceptions and outliers.

SNOMED-CT improves the quality of care that individuals receive and allows for the linking of clinical information. It also improves clinical protocols and standards. SNOMED-CT also minimizes the expenses associated with duplicative and ineffective therapy and testing, as well as the frequency and severity of adverse health occurrences (Agrawal et al., 2016). Finally, SNOMED-CT improves cost-effectiveness and quality of care delivery.

In conclusion, SNOMED – CT is effective for clinicians in delivering care to patients and the population as a whole and produces cost-effective quality care.
