Mikes Notes
One of the reasons for creating Pipi is to provide support for health systems.
I have followed SNOWMED for several years and participated in an OMG health workflow effort during the COVID lockdown. I did not contribute much, but I learned by watching how a standard's body functions with people working remotely. The effort was skillfully led by Ken Rubin.
Locally, there is Health Information NZ (HINZ). This is the primary organisation involved in standards and interoperability. The NZ public health system has 3,000 applications that don't integrate and must be fixed. I recently signed up to use SNOWMED.
My account at SNOWMED CT has been approved.

SNOWMED
"SNOMED CT or SNOMED Clinical Terms is a systematically organized computer-processable collection of medical terms providing codes, terms, synonyms and definitions used in clinical documentation and reporting. SNOMED CT is considered to be the most comprehensive, multilingual clinical healthcare terminology in the world.[1][2] The primary purpose of SNOMED CT is to encode the meanings that are used in health information and to support the effective clinical recording of data with the aim of improving patient care. SNOMED CT provides the core general terminology for electronic health records. SNOMED CT comprehensive coverage includes: clinical findings, symptoms, diagnoses, procedures, body structures, organisms and other etiologies, substances, pharmaceuticals, devices and specimens.
SNOMED CT is maintained and distributed by SNOMED International, an international non-profit standards development organization, located in London, UK. SNOMED International is the trading name of the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO), established in 2007" - Wikipedia

Topic: Transforming healthcare interoperability with FHIR
"FHIR has become a household name as the standard that has moved health data exchange into the modern era.
Experts from both sides of the Tasman will discuss the latest developments using FHIR for joined-up care and better user experience.
This will include an update on the HISO interoperability standards and supporting tools that are Health NZ's delivery priorities in 2024, including the NZ Health Terminology Service (NZHTS), SNOMED CT NZ Edition, and NZ Core Data for Interoperability (NZCDI).
