Arvanitis - 29/11/2013 TRANSFoRm Itegrated VS The TRANSFoRm Integrated Vocabulary Service is designed to allow end users to search and retrieve clinical vocabulary concepts and associated content –a web interface and a web service API –the service uses the LexEVS (version 5.1) technology to access a backend UMLS vocabulary database –the service uses direct Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) to access other vocabulary databases (e.g. Read Codes V2, ICPC2) Slide 16

17. North Locality Spoke Stakeholder Event Professor T.N. Arvanitis - 29/11/2013 RCD v2/ICPC2 Read Codes (RCDv2) and International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC2) corpus of terms and their associated mappings –created to cater for the initial need of the existence of specific primary care oriented terminologies. The UK NHS Connecting for Health Terminology Centre - mappings from Read Codes version 2 to SNOMED CT. The Read Codes v2 database in Transform VS is set up based on this mapping so that Read Codes 2 concepts can be linked to a UMLS search. Similar approach for ICPC2. ICPC2-ICD10 Thesaurus and mappings - Transition Project @ University of Amsterdam The TRANSFoRm team is updating the ICPC2-ICD 10 mapping and Thesaurus ICPC3: new initiative UMLS Metathesaurus Read Codes v2 Codes SNOMED CT Codes ICPC2 Codes ICD-10 Thesaurus/Codes UMLS Metathesaurus Slide 17

Every time you do so, you will be certain to find something that you have never seen before. Follow it up, explore all around it, and before you know it, you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind. All really big discoveries are the result of thought." Alexander Graham Bell: "electrical speech machine" of 1876
