I asked Dr Steve Brown for a bit more information and received some of the following: FDA is going to use a subset of of SNOMED CT to represent problems in the structured labeling hilites section (a new part of the label that has important stuff in an easy to read format). They are putting out structured lablels using hl7 spl2 standard. The hilites section has pretty much structured data (eg "indication") that is tagged and soon to be useful (given standard terminology) Check out: http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/about.cfm and http://www.fda.gov/cder/regulatory/physLabel/physLabel_qa.htm#innovations -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thurman Pedigo Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 9:22 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Hardhats-members] SNOMED, Kaiser Permanente, and VA Anyone know what this means? Feds Push Electronic Health Records April 24, 2006 by Barbara Kram, Assistant Editor The Problem List Subset was created through a health technology partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Kaiser Permanente. This use of SNOMED for medical product labeling will improve the domestic exchange of product information in FDA-approved package inserts. http://www.dotmed.com/news/story/1678/ Thanks, thurman
