SNOMED brings increased accuracy and recording speed to healthcare systems within the UK health sector. Following the successful introduction of the UK Extensions into Snoflake in 2011 and further consultation with users in 2012, Dataline is launching version 4.0 of the website this month. This new version is a complete rebuild, to take advantage of new technologies and features now available: ● Improved User Interface, easier to use and understand. ● An ICD10 searching mode enables you to use Snoflake as an ICD10 tool. ● Faster, more accurate search algorithm, using prefix or whole word matching. ● New search mode which will match concepts containing some or all the words supplied. ● Improved Snippet matching mode; will match concepts more accurately from the words specified. ● New favourite management tools that are multi-select, quicker and easier to use. Alongside Snoflake, Dataline is releasing a new version of SnAPI - an application programming interface for SNOMED CT. This allows organisations and application developers the opportunity to deploy SNOMED CT lookups in their own applications simply and with minimal SNOMED CT knowledge. If you are currently developing or are maintaining a healthcare application that needs SNOMED integration, then SnAPI can speed development and help you concentrate on the user experience without developing the complex data structures associated with SNOMED CT integration. The new version of Snoflake is now entirely built using SnAPI, so you can see the power of this impressive API. If you like the new Snoflake then stay tuned, as we forecast more SNOMED features ahead. The following improvements are planned for the coming months: ● Subsumption filter - do the concepts you are looking for have a common parent? ● Concept status filter. ● Further improvements to the visualisation tool, including the ability to change relationship type.
