Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust decided to move to an electronic patient record system, replacing their PAS system in the process. They worked closely with their chosen supplier to adapt the existing supplier product to utilise SNOMED CT throughout for both procedure and diagnosis recording. It is the first instantiation of this system in the UK and this Rotherham case study aims to provide an overview of their achievements.

This report describes a pilot project involving eight distinct specialties and demonstrates that there are benefits for specialists to work with clinical terminologists to ensure that the terminology reflects best current practice and to ensure clinical ownership of the terms within defined speciality subsets. One specialty has been able to gather sufficient clinical data in SNOMED CT to demonstrate benefits in terms of subsequent data analysis and acquisition of knowledge beneficial to the commissioning of the specialty.

Barts Health NHS Trust successfully made their Emergency Department at the Royal London Hospital a paperlite environment using Cerner Millennium during 2012, after first implementing the system at the trust in 2008. Given this noticeable success in using the system it was suggested by the trust to the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) that they jointly undertake a detailed study (Deep Dive) into the successful use of the Cerner Millennium system in the Emergency Department and other parts of the trust.

Using SNOMED CT, a Disabilities Terminology Set (DTS) was created. It was designed to embrace the range of needs experienced by disabled children and their families at different stages of their care journeys, so that there could be accurately recorded. An explanatory glossary was produced in which each term was clearly explained, to encourage consistent use of the terms. A traffic light tool was designed with families and the multiple disciplinary team to capture and prioritise needs on the day of each clinical review appointment. Families complete this in the waiting room and bring it to the consultation, which ensures that the needs that matter most to the family that day are addressed. This case study describes in detail the approach, benefits and analysis now possible that SNOMED CT is used for the clinical terms.
