Closed ATM View - IHPA/27/1617
Provision of a consultancy to develop a solution for maintaining the interoperability of ICD 10 AM and SNOMED CT AU
As per the Non Admitted Patient Emergency Department Care National Minimum Data Set, principal diagnosis is currently captured and reported by emergency departments (EDs) via two main systems: ICD 10 AM; and SNOMED CT AU EDRS.
IHPA uses maps to group episodes reported in SNOMED CT AU to the emergency care Urgency Related Groups (URG) classification system, which uses ICD 10 AM to categorise presentations. At present, the mapping file contains 5,761 SNOMED CT AU codes which are mapped to 3,055 ICD 10 AM 6th edition codes. However, this mapping is out of date with major changes having been made to both SNOMED-CT-AU and ICD-10-AM since the mapping file was developed.
At a minimum, IHPA requires a mechanism to convert SNOMED CT AU codes to ICD 10 AM codes every six months, in line with jurisdictional reporting timeframes. The scope is limited to the SNOMED CT AU EDRS and the full ICD 10 AM 10th edition code set. Where possible, the contractor should also consider the inclusion of the full set of SNOMED CT AU codes.
As per Clause 11 of the RFT
It is anticipated the project work commence early 2017; with the project completed by the end of 2017.
