Intersocial, common vocabulary system in the social sphere
Intersocial, common vocabulary system in the social sphere
Fundació TIC Salut Social
Project that allows defining the common vocabulary to be used for interoperating information in the field of social care
Intersocial aims to integrate data from different management systems in the field of social care in Catalonia through the standardization of the vocabulary used in this sector.
During the research process, an investigation was conducted to determine if there existed a consolidated international vocabulary in the field. Given the absence of a common standard terminology, SNOMED CT was selected as the reference system for representing and exchanging issues and responses within the social sphere.

Genesis
The first phase of the Intersocial project began in 2016, where the vocabulary was worked on with a group of experts. Specifically, a specific use case focused on chronicity and end of life was defined. The second phase started in 2019, with childhood and mental health as central themes. The last phase, from 2020 to 2021, incorporated youth, dependency, and again childhood.
Implementation level
Since the beginning of the project, 251 concepts have been coded in SNOMED CT, distributed across issues, responses, factors, and observations.
