Dave,

the solution to this situation is not yet 100% clear in ADL2 (it is in ADL1.4, as others have described). We are trying to define a cleaner way to represent it in ADL2, but I'm still not clear on the requirements. It appears that the scenario you have is that since SNOMED CT, READ and CTV3 are extant in the UK, coding should be allowed using any of those, but not by other means.

Does this apply across the whole HSCIC model library? Or do you want some more fine-grained control, e.g.:

 * do you want to designate certain terminologies for specific
   templates ? E.g. template A can only use SCT, but template B can use
   any of the three?
 * do you need to say on a node-by-node basis in a single template,
   e.g. this node must be coded by SCT, but this other node by say
   SCT-or-READ, and this third node, any of the 3 are allowed?

If others can clarify requirements in this area as well, it would be very helpful.

See here in the ADL2 draft spec <http://www.openehr.org/releases/AM/latest/docs/ADL2/ADL2.html#_terminology_integration>for current thinking on this.

thanks

I have a modelling issue where I’m trying to bind a single data point or an archetype to a choice of terminology & code systems.

The actual use case is that I’m modelling a new-born hips examination, and the result may be given as either a SNOMED CT concept, a Read 2 code or a CTV3 code (for those unfamiliar with Read 2 & CTV3, they are code systems used (mostly) in primary care in the UK). In the actual instance, each code/concept will have a code system identifier to distinguish the actual code system used

For example, a result of “no abnormalities and no risk factors” can be represented as either

*SNOMED CT*

        

*Read2*

        

*CTV3*

ID

        

FSN

        

ID

        

Term

        

ID

        

Term

985701000000100

        

Newborn and Infant Physical Examination Screening Programme, hip examination done, no abnormality and no risk factor

        

9OqJ1

        

NIPE hip, no abnor&no rsk fctr

        

XadAN

        

NIPE hip, no abnor&no rsk fctr

In the modelling tools I see you can have a choice, but I can’t see how the choice supports multiple terminologies. I see that it does support a choice of a terminology & Free text.

Is there a “standard” way of saying a data point may be represented by one of 3 terminologies/codes systems? Or is this something the tooling deliberately stops you doing?

Thanks in advance
