Clinical Terminology Shock and Awe
Fifth Annual Symposium of the Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group
Date: September 7-8, 2016
Venue: Ramada Hotel, Amherst, NY
Goals:
Advancing Patient Care and Translational Science through SNOMED CT, ontologies, and beyond
Goals would include:
Advancing reproducibility of clinical and translational research (BFO, OBI, LOINC)
Advancing EHR interoperability (addressing SNOMED and meaningful use regulations)
Improving EHR data usability
Advancing interoperability of clinical data generally (
Improving SNOMED usability
Improving EHR usability in the clinic
Agree with Øystein's additional comments that we should invite folks from i2b2 (although it is no longer solely about i2b2).
I would add that we ought to also pull in other EHR data re-users, such as folks from PCORnet community and OHDSI (they have the OMOP common data model). Of course, there is significant overlap among i2b2, PCORnet, and OMOP, so it shouldn't be too hard.
But for example we should include Michael Kahn from Colorado if we're serious about that community.
I also think Øystein's comment about context is a good. I gave a lecture in my class about how context is really just data you don't need except in exceptional circumstances (echoing my remarks to the NASA panel at ICBO). Usual context for BP is sitting in a clinic. But suddenly, you can't assume that when the BP was taken on the space station. Now you need all the data about where, how many miles above earth, etc.
