Hi Phillipe and Graham, This may help your discussion:
https://www.snomedinaction.org Unfortunately, it only gives a high level view of where SNOMED CT is used, for example, if you look at the map, it mentions, “Leeds Teaching Hospitals decided to embrace SNOMED CT in their Emergency Department”. However, I wonder, why the many other departments in that hospital are not using SNOMED CT too? I would really like to know where the true successful implementations of SNOMED CT are? Where I mean an implementation, I don’t mean for example a just a mapping from one terminology to another, like mapping READ codes to SNOMED CT, but also using the post coordination functionality of SNOMED, and making full use of the hierarchical structure of SNOMED CT. I am get the impression that SNOMED CT is hard to implement, and therefore wondered if we are at some kind of tipping point, like where HL7v3 was a few years ago, and some bright spark came along, and now we have FHIR that is gaining great traction in the health community due to the ease at which it can be implemented.

However, as an engineer and a developer, I always try to measure the payload of a component when I consider using it. Where does it fit in the "pair of wings" to "dead horse" range? IMHO, HL7 and Snomed are not on the right side and adopting such components is like drilling in concrete: it never becomes easier. When it is about considering costs, I can argue that something that is "not well born" will cost considerably more than necessary during its entire life span. Any such technique is hard to build, hard to integrate and hard to maintain. As a guy that built and operate a self made 54000 atomic terms ontology, I can tell you that addressing this issue in the proper way can save considerable amount of money and (this is the most important part of it) free considerable energy that can be invested in reinventing health instead of plaguing practitioners with new burdens. My aim with this "troll" was just to tell that this kind of questioning exists and also that some "fools" are currently joining to create what they think could be "well born components". I have the feeling that it is high time we "leapfrog" in being able to "organize the journey" from the patient's "bio-psycho-social bubble" instead of getting dedicated to "siloed care center boxes"... and that HL7 and Snomed will keep their users in the wrong reference frame. Time will tell... but interesting times ahead!

But anyone who's tried to work on real terminologies must also be aware of just how much work is involved in these things. So there's very much a glass half full/empty thing here. I understand not being thrilled with Snomed CT as a choice, but as the french government, for instance, actually confronted how much more it will cost to do something else? There's more than one kind of club to have that wastes money.... I've had a quick look at Meriterm... like all good rdf, it's not easily penetrable. But it looks like the authors are not informed about Cimino's desiderata... which brings us back to the wasting money thing...

IMHO, the question is not really to enroll but to deliver... and considering the tremendous amount of money that was invested in HL7 and Snomed (both to elaborate and try to implement) and the actual societal return, there is such a discrepancy that the hypothesis that, due to missing the "information society" turn, health systems are entering terrible crisis times is to be considered seriously. In current "information society", you have two options when considering "health information systems": 1) You dedicate yourself to "medical information systems" instead, and can freely build for (inter-connected) silos, 2) You consider "health" in its genuine meaning and you have to realize that it is a complex domain fully opened to all other societal issues... hence should ban components that are endemic to medicine. Maybe (and I really mean it for Latin America), it should be high time to leapfrog, not to join the "dollars wasting club" ;-) Philippe Le 12/03/2018 à 18:17, Pablo Pazos a écrit : In Latin America is all the contrary, more countries are becoming SNOMED members and adopting SNOMED at the govt level.

Hi, There is currently some kind of interesting momentum against Snomed. It can come from governments that refuse to pay for it (current mood in France), of from practitioners who, after having been asked by their gov to "sort out their Snomed subset" came to the conclusion that it doesn't exist. <Troll>Some also predict that the most certain result of keeping up trying to build systems using such shitty fully endemic components is to have medical doctors disappear from missing the "information society" turn.</Troll> Have some of you been aware of the Meriterm (European) project?
