Managed service
The Managed Service was created to provide an online service that would allow SNOMED International Members to manage and distribute a release of a SNOMED CT local extension from start to finish in simple, standard manner. The Managed Service was designed to provide a value for money, off the shelf service for SNOMED International Members, benefitting from the use of a shared platform.
The Managed Service provides a fully hosted service with:
-
access to SNOMED International technical and content staff for support;
-
use of the SNOMED CT Authoring Platform and the Reference Set & Translation tool;
-
validation, release and distribution of SNOMED CT local extensions twice a year.
If you are interested in getting more information on the SNOMED International Managed Service, please contact your local CSRM representative.
