A message from SNOMED International:

We're thrilled to announce our March Research Webinar featuring Hugo J.T. van Mens.

This webinar will be held on Wednesday, March 17 (14UTC). Registration is now open: snomed.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CFUTtmQDSPm52Ae1c4UltA

TOPIC: Utilizing the SNOMED CT hierarchy to generate patient-friendly clarifications: challenges and opportunities

The SNOMED CT Netherlands Patient-Friendly Extension contains a limited set of terms and definitions to help laymen understand medical data. In this presentation, Hugo will show how he used this relatively small set, and the SNOMED CT hierarchy, to generate clarifications for a high percentage of all diagnoses. Results from a validation study and plans for further research and development will be discussed.

Presenter: Hugo J.T. van Mens, MSC
PhD candidate at Amsterdam UMC and software developer at ChipSoft
