Key Points

This research aims to develop a Thai user interface terminology (UIT) for implementing SNOMED CT in primary care settings.
Conducted a cross-sectional content coverage analysis of existing clinical terms
Mapped Thai terminology to SNOMED CT
Identified challenges in the terminology mapping process
The developed Thai UIT improves semantic clarity in clinical documentation
Enhanced interoperability in the healthcare system of Thailand
Facilitated better clinical decision-making and health data analytics

Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals mapping challenges of Thai UIT to SNOMED CT, enhancing clinical decision-making.

Abstract

This study demonstrates the feasibility of developing a Thai UIT mapped to SNOMED CT and describes mapping challenges. The resulting UIT enhances semantic clarity in clinical documentation and supports better interoperability, clinical decision-making, and health data analytics within Thailand's health care system.
