Abstract
Introduction: At the IHPBA meeting in Brisbane in 2000 the Brisbane 2000 Terminology of Liver Anatomy and Resections was accepted as the official terminology of the IHPBA. SNOMED-CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terminology) is the most comprehensive, multilingual clinical healthcare terminology in the world, and is an important standard in the recording and interchange of coded clinical information. It was initially released in 2002, and is in use in over 80 countries. Up until now SNOMED-CT hasn´t included all of the clinical terms and concepts contained within the Brisbane nomenclature. Methods: The clinical terms and concepts contained within the Brisbane terminology are mapped to the current SNOMED-CT clinical terms. New SNOMED-CT terms and relationships are proposed to enable a full representation of the Brisbane terminology within SNOMED-CT. Results: The new terms and relationships are presented and the process for endorsement by SNOMED International is discussed. Conclusions: Clinical information is increasingly stored electronically. Standards for clinical information exchange such as FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) depend heavily on SNOMED-CT for coded clinical information. It is important therefore that the consensus of wisdom encapsulated within the Brisbane terminology is represented in SNOMED-CT.
