Jon,
Work of this nature was undertaken several years ago under a Dept Funded
GPCG project. This project was the first research/evaluation project on
SNOMED in Australia and helped establish a baseline of knowledge and
evaluation of its content coverage in general practice in comparison to
other systems such as ICD10AM, ICPCplus, DOCLE and CATCH.

The raw GP records data was collected from the Medical Director research
practices (with the support and cooperation of key MD figures such as
Andrew Magennis and Geoff Sayer) and used for text analysis, evaluations
of terminologies including SNOMED (in a project lead by Uni Adelaide and
supported by the NCCH). All is documented and much of the work can be
downloaded. I am happy to provide an overview of what was done and I am
sure Don Walker, who is the principle researcher and in my opinion the
leading practitioner in the field of health terminology in Australia,
would be pleased to be contacted.
There is no doubt that linguistic analysis has great potential for
improving the way information is stored and retrieved from health
records. I look forward to meeting up with you and seeing the results of
your work.
As a final comment the fact that such EHR research material could be
made available cost effectively and de-identified occurred because of
the existence of the GP Research Network and the Adelaide University
Medic_GP database. Trying to orchestrate one off collections data with
all the ethics approval and privacy considerations is quite a task.

PS. Thanks to Horst and the crew who have kept this list and residual
GPCG activity going. Inspite of the occasional flames there is much
sharing of useful stuff. I had fallen off for a while but pleased to be
back.

"We trained hard, but it seemed every time we were beginning to form up
into teams, we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that
we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising, and a wonderful
method it can be for creation the illusion of progress while producing
confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."

Dear List members,
You've heard me discuss previously our need for clinical notes to test
our work on recognising SNOMED CT terms. I appreciate that everyone is
cautious about violating the confidentiality of their patients. Hence
rather than try to get a large collection of notes from one location I
am requesting a very small sample from many locations. If 50 people
would be prepared to package up 20 sentences from any notes that
contain terms that you would expect to be present in a large terminology
like SNOMED we would then have sample of 1000 sentences to do our trials
on. It is my hope that 20 sentences is not such a burden that people
would feel they could vet the material and send it without undue time cost.
yours in hope
Jon
