Abstract
The different backgrounds and work of four of NEHTA's Terminology Analysts are discussed. The National Clinical Terminology and Information Service (NCTIS), part of the National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA), was tasked by Australia's governments to create, maintain, and represent in a standardised form terminology content for health care domains (predominantly clinical). The NCTIS is developing software that will be able to record and interpret all clinical information about a patient. Forming the basis of this software is SNOMED CT. It will effectively form the data source of e-health, enabling clinicians to exchange their traditional paper-based records for a modern, electronic system. NEHTA employs a number of Terminology Analysts to undertake this work.
