<h1>New U.S. SNOMED CT Content Request System</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The beta version of the new <a href="//uscrs.nlm.nih.gov">U.S. SNOMED CT<span class="registered">®</span> Content Request System (USCRS)</a> is now available (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>). This system allows SNOMED CT users to submit change requests to the content of SNOMED CT. Users log into the system using their Unified Medical Language System<span class="registered">®</span> (UMLS<span class="registered">®</span>) Terminology Services (UTS) user accounts. Visit the <a href="https://uts.nlm.nih.gov/home.html">UTS site</a> to sign up for an account if you do not already have one.
|
|
</p>

<div class="figure" style="width: 624px;"> <img src="graphics/uscrs_fig1.png" alt="Screen capture of U.S. SNOMED CT Content Request System homepage." title="Screen capture of U.S. SNOMED CT Content Request System homepage" width="622" height="544" /><br /> <strong>Figure 1: U.S. SNOMED CT Content Request System homepage.</strong></div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Online forms allow users to enter ten different request types to add or change information in SNOMED CT concepts:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>New concept (see <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>)</li>
|
|
<li>Add Parent </li>
|
|
<li>Change Description </li>
|
|
<li>Change Parent </li>
|
|
<li>Change Relationship </li>
|
|
<li>New Relationship </li>
|
|
<li>New Synonym</li>
|
|
<li>Retire Concept </li>
|
|
<li>Retire Description</li>
|
|
<li>Retire Relationship</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
<p>
|
|
Individual requests may be submitted online separately, or grouped together to form a batch. Users may save draft requests for later completion, validation, and submission.
|
|
</p>

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Users may also download the USCRS batch request template to submit multiple requests prepared offline. The template, in Excel<span class="registered">®</span> spreadsheet format, includes instructions for use, and a separate worksheet for submission of each of ten request types. Users upload their completed batch templates into the USCRS (see <a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>), which generates tasks that users can then review, edit, validate, and submit.

<p>

|
Users may view their requests and track their progress through evaluation and, if accepted, eventual inclusion into either SNOMED CT International or the U.S. Extension to SNOMED CT. Users may search requests from other users for similar or identical requests (see <a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>) and track statistics about their own use of the system. Each page of the USCRS contains a help link <img src="graphics/uscrs_icon1.png" alt="Screen capture of citationcontext menu." title="Screen capture of citation context menu" width="16" height="16" /> to context-sensitive help documentation.

<p>
|
|
An understanding of SNOMED CT content and structure is assumed, and a practical use case is required for each request. Every request must also include an identifier that links to the current version of either SNOMED CT International or the U.S. Extension to SNOMED CT. Both are available for download from the UTS. Users may search for SNOMED CT terms, ConceptIDs, and DescriptionIDs here using the NLM SNOMED CT Browser which is available from the UTS <em>Applications</em> menu.

The U.S. SNOMED CT Content Request System is an important new tool in the NLM effort to support the development, enhancement, and distribution of clinically specific vocabularies to facilitate the exchange of clinical data and improve retrieval of health information. SNOMED CT is one of a suite of designated standards for use in U.S. Federal Government systems for the electronic exchange of clinical health information and is also a required standard in interoperability specifications of the U.S. Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
SNOMED CT was designated as a national standard for several purposes (problem list, public health reporting) in the initial certification criteria for EHRs issued by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. Recent recommendations from HHS advisory committees have proposed that SNOMED CT be the U.S. national standard for additional categories of information in EHRs and for additional health information exchange transactions. SNOMED CT has been chosen as the standard for selected data elements in international genetic information resources, including a Genetic Testing Registry and database of clinically significant human variations under development at NIH. It is also being used in an increasing number of clinical research studies.
