Visualization of disease distribution with SNOMED CT and ICD-10
View through CrossRef
Methods for presentation of disease and health problem distribution in a health care environment rely among other things on the inherent structure of the controlled terminology used for coding. In the present study, this aspect is explored with a focus on ICD-10 and SNOMED CT. The distribution of 2,5 million diagnostic codes from primary health care in the Stockholm region is presented and analyzed through the “lenses” of ICD-10 and SNOMED CT. The patient encounters, originally coded with a reduced set of ICD-10 codes used in primary health care in Sweden, were mapped to SNOMED CT concepts through a mapping table. The method used for utilizing the richer structure of SNOMED CT as compared to ICD-10 is presented, together with examples of produced disease distributions. Implications of the proposed method for enriching a traditional classification such as ICD-10 through mappings to SNOMED CT are discussed.
