About

What is the Health Terminologies Community?

The Health Terminologies Community is a place to share and learn about new and existing implementations of, and updates to, health-related terminologies, terminology subsets, and classification systems used in Canada.

Members actively contribute to discussions and share information and advice related to the implementation, development, maintenance, and use of multiple vocabularies in various health-related projects.

This community is responsive to its membership, actively encouraging, welcoming, and relying on the submission of discussion topics, agenda items, and other items such as education and vendor engagement from its members.

The community will engage and collaborate with other groups or InfoCentral communities on broader related topics when relevant.

Major reference terminologies and classification systems of interest include, but are not limited to:

SNOMED CT
LOINC/pCLOCD
CCDD (Canadian Clinical Drug Dataset)
ICD-10-CA
ATC

Canada Health Infoway is the National Release Centre (NRC) for SNOMED CT, pCLOCD, and HL7 in Canada.

The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) is responsible for the development and publication of ICD-10-CA (the Canadian modification of ICD-10), as well as CCI (Canadian Classification of Health Interventions).

To become a member of this community select Join Group in the Group Menu.

If you have an idea for a community, working group, or project that will drive interoperability forward, let us know by contacting us.

New Guidance Counsellor Role - HealthcareProviderRoleType

Good afternoon.. I am writing on behalf of TELUS Health as we have a requirement for a new code to be added for "Guidance Counsellor" to HealthcareProviderRoleType in support of healthcare claims. Guidance counsellors are a recognized role today and used in paper claims processing. We currently use HealthcareProviderRoleType" in our HL7v3 and FHIR claims messaging and will need this role code added in order to process these claims electronically. Can you please add a value of "GC" with a display value of "Guidance Counsellor" and "Conseiller d'orientation" as the french display name. As a description, I would recommend the description from the OCCOQ as follows: "Professionals in the field of helping relationships, guidance and career development who practice in the field of mental health and human relations. They support people of all ages, at all stages of their lives. Their interventions aim to develop socio-professional autonomy and make informed decisions, on the professional, academic and personal levels, in line with the identity and needs of the person. Their clientele may also be groups or organizations." If you would like more information on this role, here is a reference to an association in Quebec that recognizes these counsellors, https://www.orientation.qc.ca/. I have also created a subset RFC in JIRA for this request. (https://informs.infoway-inforoute.ca/browse/SR-592?filter=-2) Many thanks, A.
