Public Health Community Call - discussion summary: imms terminology work

Great call yesterday everyone thank you.

I would just like to remind everyone that you can access both the Terminology Gateway and our API services from InfoCentral.

Under the Tools tab in grey menu bar, you can access the Terminology Gateway, InfoRMS for RFCs and all of our tools to support APIs and FHIR.

Here is the link to the Developer tools for FHIR, APIs etc.: infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/tools/developer-tools

You see that we have added some new functionality to the Terminology Gateway as well. Implementers now have the ability to subscribe to get automatic notice of updates from our RRS feed (tgateway.infoway-inforoute.ca/feeds/rss.xml) or take advantage of the new Webhook notifications.

Our Terminology Gateway page (infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/tools/standards-tools/terminology-gateway) will provide you with access to the gateway where you can browse and access the various terminologies, subsets and find the related release notes.

And if you need to submit any changes for content to any of our standards or subsets, you can access InfoRMS here: infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/tools/collaboration-tools/informs

Any questions, please feel free to post or contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thank you

Hi everyone,
Related to item #2, new hands-on sessions have been scheduled and are offered to different audiences for increasing the knowledge of the SNOMED CT terminology and related tools. Note that this coming Thursday, January 25, I am presenting on the Requests for change (RCs), the submission process and use of dashboard...

One session per month will be dedicated to a new topic. If you want to learn more about the resources that are available to support you and your team in your Terminology Projects, you are welcome to attend these sessions, where you will have the opportunity to share your challenges and screen so we can solve your issues!

Refer to this document for the schedule: Planned Hands-On Sessions (Jan, Feb, Mar 2018)
Note that the sessions are also in the InfoCentral Events Calendar.

Here are the notes I made from our call on re-starting the Imms terminology work:

What do we need to proceed with this work?
1. Define scope of work – vaccine Trade Name (licenced products) including clinical content governance;
draft imms subsets (e.g. immunization anatomical site, immunization route of administration)

2. Utilize resources available from CHI: We can schedule a workshop for a RFC refresher; we need info on CHI's API tools (stakeholders can request)

3. Still need to determine meeting frequency – will we have a sub-group working on this? Hope to confirm our plan on February 26 at the next PHS call – we will extend the call to 90 minutes to allow for a deeper dive and (hopefully) a high-level plan.
