We developed a method to evaluate the extent to which the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF) and SNOMED CT cover concepts used in the disability listing criteria of the U.S. Social Security Administration's "Blue Book." First we decomposed the criteria into their constituent concepts and relationships. We defined different types of mappings and manually mapped the recognized concepts and relationships to either ICF or SNOMED CT. We defined various metrics for measuring the coverage of each terminology, taking into account the effects of inexact matches and frequency of occurrence. We validated our method by mapping the terms in the disability criteria of Adult Listings, Chapter 12 (Mental Disorders). SNOMED CT dominates ICF in almost all the metrics that we have computed. The method is applicable for determining any terminology's coverage of eligibility criteria.

Background: Nurses register data in electronic health records, which can use various terminology and coding systems. The net result is that information cannot be exchanged and reused properly, for example when a patient is transferred from one care setting to another. A nursing subset of patient problems was therefore developed in the Netherlands, based on comparable and exchangeable terms that are used throughout the healthcare sector and elsewhere (semantic interoperability).

There is now widespread recognition of the powerful potential of electronic health record (EHR) systems to improve the health-care delivery system. The benefits of EHRs grow even larger when the health data within their purview are seamlessly shared, aggregated and processed across different providers, settings and institutions. Yet, the plethora of idiosyncratic conventions for identifying the same clinical content in different information systems is a fundamental barrier to fully leveraging the potential of EHRs.

Semantic interoperability (SIOp) is a major issue for health care systems having to share information across professionals, teams, legacies, countries, languages and citizens. The World Health Organisation (WHO) develops and updates a family of health care terminologies (ICD, ICF, ICHI and ICPS) and has embarked on an open web-based cooperation to revise ICD 11 using ontology driven tools. The International Health Terminology Standard Development Organisation (IHTSDO) updates, translates and maps SNOMED CT to ICD 10.
