ASSESS CT – MAIN OBJECTIVES
o Investigating the use of SCT
o Assessing if SCT satisfies the requirements of EU standardization regulations
o Studying the fitness of SCT as a clinical terminology
o Providing a socio-economical evidence-based assessmentof costs and benefits
o Consolidating the experiences and evidence to develop a national /European strategy for the use of terminologies
o Communicating and disseminating project findings
o Coordinating with the other PHC-34 CSAs
o Carrying out an ethical assessment

ADOPT ALTERNATIVE ABSTAIN
A European terminology strategy should be part of an overarching European
eHealth strategy. The strategy should support the principles of collecting clinical
data once and using them multiple times, where allowed and required. Thus,
administrative, public health and research information should almost always be
derived from routinely collected clinical information.
This strategy should have Member State commitment and should consider human
and financial resource implications, incentives, as well as technical and semantic
requirements.
A main advantage is its content coverage, which is superior to any other single
terminology, making it the most complete point of reference for health related
concepts. Another advantage of SNOMED CT over a set of other clinical
terminologies is its principled ontology-based architecture with a logic-based
coordination syntax.
No country sees SNOMED CT as a standalone solution, but rather as an important
part of the national terminology infrastructure.
Such incremental use, but across all Member States, might be subject to specially
negotiated licences on behalf of the whole of Europe.
Solutions must be in place for legacy conversion, guaranteeing the continued
exploitation of historical data, for user interface terminologies, and for assuring the
continuation of global mortality and morbidity statistics.
This should maximise the value of Member State and SDO alignment on the
approach to advancing semantic interoperability, including the implementation and
deployment of SNOMED CT.
