A free seminar is being offered on FHIR and SNOMED CT® called “Hazy Horizons and Implementation Considerations” on May 13th, 2016 – Montreal 1pm – 5pm

It is being provided by The Global eHealth Collaborative (GeHCO), a not for profit organization and will address the following challenges:

• What are Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources?
• How does the terminology, specifically, SNOMED CT, interact with FHIR?
• What are the implementation issues with FHIR and SNOMED CT?

Today the FHIR specification references SNOMED CT for potential use in multiple points in the FHIR specification.

This course will help you understand when and if to use SNOMED CT and how to go about it. Participants will go through the FHIR description of SNOMED CT and its uses. An initial overview of the practical use of SNOMED CT in FHIR is followed by decision points, issues and next steps.

Topics include: model binding, SNOMED CT references, value set mechanisms, mapping between existing data and SNOMED CT concept codes.

You are encouraged to register as soon as possible as space is limited.
