Request for Feedback on SNOMED CT Canadian Immunization Redesign Project

In July 2020, Canada Health Infoway kicked off the SNOMED CT^® Immunization Redesign Project - Update to the Community. Over the course of five sessions, enhancements to the existing SNOMED CT CA Immunization content and model were discussed. These enhancements include updates to naming conventions in both CA and SNOMED International Editorial Guidelines for tradename and generic products for the September 2020 SNOMED CT CA Release:

• Naming conventions
• Semantic tag changes
• Product qualitative strength
• Subset updates related to concept replacements
• Influenza and combined ingredients vaccines specific requirements
• Dose form

Meeting notes, slide decks and other resources are available via the InfoCentral Health Terminologies (HTC) and Public Health Surveillance (PHS) Communities. Members of these communities can see and post conversations via the forum, and can obtain documentation posted to the HTC documents folder. Participation is open and free. If you do not have an InfoCentral account, register to join the conversation.

HTC Meetings are held monthly. Details and registration link can be found on InfoCentral’s Event Calendar.
