This is a remote, flexible and short-term project.

Key Responsibilities

Structured Annotation: Identify clinically relevant concepts across discharge summaries, lab results and prognosis notes, and map them to the correct SNOMED CT codes on a dedicated platform.

Guideline Application: Work to a coding guideline covering hierarchy scope, negation, medication scope, section-level inclusions and compound coding, applied consistently across a large volume of documents.

Edge Case Handling: Flag ambiguous or contested cases with a short rationale so guidance can be refined.
