If you missed it, check out the recently released #LOINC and #SNOMEDCT Interoperability Solution at loincsnomed.org. In the future, all LOINC content will be in the extension. Challenges include developing an ontological model for document names.

Having fun at SNOMED International gala dinner. The award winners all deserved their recognition. What a pleasure to be a sponsor of the conference. #SctExpo23 #SNOMEDCT

We do too, B C! 😀 #SCTExpo23

Was great to see most all of the WCI team in Atlanta! #SCTExpo23

The first 3 upside predications leave out 1 key step: While #AI cuts the jargon, serve back-office functions, & predict next events, it can only do w/𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑 #healthcare data. This is one of the solutions WCI is striving to provide (via AI). hbhi.jhu.edu/news/ai-health…
