There are 90 data elements in the GP minimum data set most with associated code sets which need to be presented in a standardised manner so the list gets much bigger. There is overlap in some of the terminology sets such as LOINC and SNOMED which must be resolved. There are four standard classifications in the Australian "Family of Health and Related Classifications" which need to interface with the appropriate terminologies - ICD10AM, ICPC-2, ICF and ATC. The MSIA is setting up an interoperability working group to start addressing some of the issues. The closing seminar at the recent NEHTA/ Standards Australia joint meeting was " Semantic Interoperability by 2015 - no worries" Don't hold your breath!
