[Name] David Crook Subset Development Project Manager, SNOMED in Structured Electronic Records Programme, NHS Connecting for Health [Topic] Implementing a Clinical Terminology A clinical terminology is not implemented for its own sake, but to support healthcare processes as part of a package providing a longitudinal patient record. This has both technical and cultural aspects. Understanding and defining the how the terminology fits into the technical infrastructure (user interface, record architecture and messaging) is essential to ensure information is meaningful and interoperable. Equally for any implementation to succeed it needs to be owned by clinicians through establishing and realising the benefits that will accrue from the use of a coded terminology. Understanding, defining and communicating these benefits are therefore essential to successful implementation, as part of the modern electronic record. [Slot] 14 [Bio]
