If you missed the live presentation on SNOMED CT in the African Community from NZer Dr Matthew Valentine, the recording is well worth watching
Next to have a starring in the SNOMED International web series, NZer Dr Peter Jones will present Accuracy of Real-Time SNOMED CT Coding by Clerks and Clinicians: A Case Study in Auckland, New Zealand. Register now for this free event:

Dr Peter Jones is the Director of Emergency Medicine Research at Auckland City Hospital. He has a MSc in Evidence Based Healthcare from Oxford University and a PhD in Health Sciences from the University of Auckland. He has served on several Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) committees and currently sits on the International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM) Research Committee and the Quality Special Interest Group. He has published over 100 articles in the peer reviewed literature and presented more than 60 times at national and international conferences. He chairs the NZ Emergency Medicine Network for research and is currently seconded to New Zealand’s Ministry of Health as the Clinical Lead for Acute Care. He has wide research collaborations internationally, with a broad range of research interests including analgesia, sepsis, thrombosis, acute coronary syndromes, dyspnoea, oxygen therapy, trauma, ED crowding, equity and health systems. He has experience in survey research, observational research, randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews. As a researcher he is especially interested in the quality of source data. Through his Ministry of Health role he has been instrumental in including SNOMED CT in New Zealand’s National Non-Admitted Patient Collection (NNPAC), with a view to enabling better quality research and healthcare decision making in the future. Peter’s presentation will focus on audits of the quality of real time clerk and clinician coding of Emergency Department visits using the SNOMED NZ ED reference sets.
Next in the SNOMED CT research series, Dr Vipina Keloth and Dr James Gellar will be presenting Extending import detection algorithms for concept import from two to three biomedical terminologies. While enrichment of terminologies can be achieved in different ways, filling gaps in the IS-A hierarchy backbone of a terminology appears especially promising. To avoid difficult manual inspection, we started a research program in 2014, investigating terminology densities, where the comparison of terminologies leads to the algorithmic discovery of potentially missing concepts in a target terminology. In this talk, we are extending the algorithmic detection of candidate concepts for import from one source terminology to two source terminologies used in tandem.
