Our partners
SNOMED International has an active program of partnering with international standards development organizations, professional clinical bodies and commercial organizations. The goal is to facilitate the use of SNOMED CT with other international standards and profiles.
The SNOMED CT Included badge represents content fully integrated as part of SNOMED CT.
While partners retain ownership of their content, SNOMED International manages, produces, releases and distributes it as part of SNOMED CT.
The focus of partnerships is to enhance consistency in meaningful data capture and information exchange and to improve safety, while enhancing functionality and enabling interoperability for the growing number of healthcare professions that use and exchange electronic health records using SNOMED CT and related products.
Some of the resulting products include mappings, SNOMED CT subsets and guidance on the use of SNOMED CT alongside, and integrated with, other standards.
In June 2022, the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) community and SNOMED International formalized their long-time relationship with a five-year collaborative agreement that will benefit both of their user communities.
The collaboration provides OHDSI and its user community with comprehensive ontologies on specific healthcare domains and content such as devices, social determinants of health, disease severity scores and modifiers of cancers, as well as better concept definitions and resolutions of composite concepts in large-scale observational research.

In April 2016, IHTSDO and GS1 signed a Collaboration Agreement focusing on specific areas of joint work, building on a previous Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) established to facilitate liaison between the two organizations and committing to closer working to ensure compatibility between our respective standards where appropriate.
The agreement will be reviewed and evaluated to explore how the two organizations may continue to collaborate in 2023.

In April 2019, IHE International and SNOMED International formally announced a license agreement encouraging data consistency and interoperability across international boundaries, with benefits for clinical care, research and operational efficiency.
