SNOMED CT (formerly Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms) is a comprehensive and precise, multilingual health terminology. It assists with the electronic exchange of clinical health information, can be mapped to other coding systems, and is a resource with extensive, scientifically validated clinical content. NLM serves as the US National Release Center (NRC) and member of SNOMED International and is responsible for creating and distributing the US Edition of SNOMED CT, as well as accepting content requests for inclusion in the US Edition of SNOMED CT. Collaborators such as VA, NCI, AHRQ, CDC, CMS, and FDA have integrated SNOMED CT into their resources and provided requests for content in the US Edition of SNOMED CT.

The 21st Century Cures Act established PRGLAC to advise the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding gaps in knowledge and research on safe and effective therapies for pregnant women and lactating women. PRGLAC is tasked with identifying these gaps and will report its findings back to the Secretary. In addition to providing advice and guidance to the Secretary, the Task Force will prepare and submit to the Secretary and Congress a report that includes each of the following: a plan to identify and address gaps in knowledge and research regarding safe and effective therapies for pregnant women and lactating women, including the development of such therapies; ethical issues surrounding the inclusion of pregnant women and lactating women in clinical research; effective communication strategies with healthcare providers and the public on information relevant to pregnant women and lactating women; and recommendations to improve the development of safe and effective therapies for pregnant women and lactating women. The report will also include identification of Federal activities, including the state of research on pregnancy and lactation; recommendations for the coordination of, and collaboration on research related to pregnant women and lactating women; dissemination of research findings and information relevant to pregnant women and lactating women to providers and the public; and existing Federal efforts and programs to improve the scientific understanding of the health impacts on pregnant women, lactating women, and related birth and pediatric outcomes, including with respect to pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicities.

In fiscal year 2020, Congress requested that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) convene a panel of experts charged with developing quality measures for malnutrition-related hospital readmissions. At AHRQ’s request, we conducted a systematic review to inform the potential development of these measures. Our Key Questions addressed the following: (1) reviewing the association between malnutrition and clinical outcomes, (2) evaluating the effectiveness of measurement tools of malnutrition on clinical outcomes, and (3) assessing the effectiveness of hospital-initiated interventions to treat patients diagnosed with malnutrition. Understanding downstream consequences of malnutrition screening is extremely important as US hospitals are mandated to provide nutrition screening for all hospitalized patients within 24 hours of admission.
