The safe, accurate and effective exchange of health information is an essential foundation to improve healthcare around the world. We strive to determine the best global standards for health terminology and to engage with the global healthcare community to improve SNOMED CT and patient safety.

The development of a global language for health - uniting health systems from around the world and enabling them to communicate with and understand one another - is an international endeavor. SNOMED International was established to build and strengthen SNOMED CT, and to develop, maintain, promote and enable the uptake and correct use of its terminology products in health systems, services and products around the world.

SNOMED International is a membership organization representing countries or other approved territories. As defined by the organization’s Articles of Association, each Member is entitled to be represented by an individual in the SNOMED International General Assembly as well as have representatives participate on the Member Forum in an advisory capacity. Members play a critical governance role through the approval of the organization's budget and strategy. 

 

SNOMED International is staffed by a multinational, highly qualified, multidisciplinary and global workforce.
