Editor's Notes
- Today’s event – aimed very much at CCGs (and their GP IT delivery partners) In order to effectively support the transition to SNOMED CT, CCGs need to ensure that GPs within the CCG area are fully sighted on the transition to SNOMED CT and implementation requirements, including signposting the support available via NHS Digital and GPSoC clinical system suppliers. ‘Core and mandated’ local commissioner responsibilities within the GP IT Operating Model, Securing Excellence in GP IT Services 2016-18 - CCGs responsible for ensuring that a comprehensive data quality advice and guidance service is available to all GPs, including training in data quality, clinical coding and information management skills. Ensure locally commissioned GP IT delivery partners have preparations in place to support the transition to SNOMED CT – including ensuring that: Training materials/courses and IT training and facilitation staff are all fully updated to reflect SNOMED CT clinical coding standards and requirements. Report/search facilities reflect SNOMED CT requirements Content finding/code identification in SNOMED CT NB: Once initial implementation has taken place, general practices will require ongoing support from GP IT delivery providers to fully realise the benefits that can be achieved through the use of SNOMED CT, which provides a rich and sophisticated clinical terminology nomenclature?? Opportunity for housekeeping / review – identifying any reports, templates or business rules which may need to be reviewed and updated in light of the change to SNOMED CT – real opportunity to tie in with local Data Quality activities, use the opportunity to support CCGs in an active ‘housekeeping’ review. CCGs should engage with any organisation(s) that provide local reporting/data analysis services, regarding their plans to transition to SNOMED CT ensuring that data warehouse, extraction and analysis tools can accommodate SNOMED CT. If CCGs have not yet provided NHS Digital with a Nominated Point of Contact for SNOMED CT related matters, they should do so by emailing snomedprimarycare@nhs.net Much more detailed information on this during the morning and the GP IT Operating Model addendum will provide a summary of these key areas that CCGs need to be supporting general practice on.
