New process launches for proposing changes to the International Patient Summary Back 29 Sept 2025 Back A new process is now available for clinicians, standards experts, and implementers to propose changes to the International Patient Summary “suite” of standards. The International Patient Summary (IPS) is a standardized set of basic clinical data, supported by a “suite” of standards artefacts, that includes the most important health and care related facts required to ensure safe and efficient exchange of a patient’s health data across geographic borders, organizations, and health systems, independent of the country, clinical specialty, or medical condition. The publication of IPS artefacts began in 2018, with regular subsequent updates. At the 2021 UK G7 Summit, health leaders embraced the IPS, underscoring the vital importance of digital health interoperability in delivering safer, more effective care for patients around the world. In the years since, this vision has been entrusted to the Global Digital Health Partnership (GDHP), a collaboration of governments and organizations working to align digital health efforts globally. This collaboration has boosted the uptake of the IPS across the globe. The IPS has been adopted by a growing number of countries and organizations, including countries in the Middle East and South East Asia, (most notably the annual Hajj pilgrimage); Latin America and the Caribbean; Brazil; New Zealand; the European Union, and Canada. With heightened uptake of the IPS globally, it's critical for implementers to have a mechanism to propose changes to the IPS to ensure the standards remain relevant, accurate and globally applicable. A committee of the Joint Initiative Council for Global Health Informatics Standardization (JIC), the IPS Coordination Committee (IPSCC), provides a dedicated open forum for collaborating standards development organizations. Through the IPSCC they coordinate their advancement of the IPS suite of standards. IPSCC membership includes, but is not limited to, representation from: CEN/TC 251, HL7 International, IHE International, ISO/TC 215 and SNOMED International. All stakeholders are encouraged to propose changes based on their real world experience with the IPS. Such proposed changes can include, improvements and corrections to existing IPS standards, enhancements to the scope of standards, or the addition of new standards to support the implementation and use of the IPS. Current JIC Chair, Dan Vreeman (HL7), notes that as the IPS continues to gain traction globally and as it becomes more broadly deployed, it is easier to identify aspects of the IPS that require improvements, tweaks and enhancements. “We thank the pioneers who were among the first to adopt and deploy the IPS as they are well-positioned to provide feedback and suggest ways as we continue to evolve the process.” IPSCC Chair, Robert Stegwee (CEN), offers, “The IPS Coordination Committee is committed to provide transparent guidance and alignment for the ongoing development of the IPS. Real-world experience is invaluable in helping maintain the standards’ relevance, accuracy and usability, and it is through this new “Change Proposal” process that we strengthen our ties to users around the world.” Visit the International Patient Summary website to propose a change and contribute to the ongoing development of the IPS. ABOUT THE JIC The Joint Initiative Council on Global Health Informatics Standardization (JIC) is a collaboration of SDOs that seeks to enable common, timely digital health standards by addressing and resolving issues, gaps, overlaps, and redundant standardisation efforts. ABOUT THE IPSCC The IPS Coordination Committee brings together global standards development organizations to guide and align the standards artefacts that constitute the International Patient Summary (IPS). By coordinating across standards bodies, the IPSCC ensures the IPS remains a trusted, consistent, and globally applicable standard for the safe exchange of essential health information.

This framework presents a systematic approach for nationwide laboratory data standardisation, demonstrated through the Ministry of Health's (MOH) implementation of LOINC and SNOMED CT. The methodology provides a structured pathway to bridge interoperability gaps across diverse healthcare facilities regardless of existing Laboratory Information Systems (LIS). By establishing the model for terminology integration, this framework transforms fragmented clinical data into cohesive information that enables analytics capabilities, enhances diagnostic precision, and supports evidence-based decision-making applicable to various healthcare environments Back View Map Health Informatics Centre, Malaysia (1 of 2) A Comprehensive Framework for LOINC and SNOMED CT Implementation in Integrated Laboratory Information Systems Read More Country / Region APAC Tags Implementation This framework presents a systematic approach for nationwide laboratory data standardisation, demonstrated through the Ministry of Health's (MOH) implementation of LOINC and SNOMED CT. The methodology provides a structured pathway to bridge interoperability gaps across diverse healthcare facilities regardless of existing Laboratory Information Systems (LIS). By establishing the model for terminology integration, this framework transforms fragmented clinical data into cohesive information that enables analytics capabilities, enhances diagnostic precision, and supports evidence-based decision-making applicable to various healthcare environments Description The MOH's systematic implementation of LOINC and SNOMED CT extends across its healthcare infrastructure, covering 138 hospitals, 11 specialised institutions, and 1,095 clinics. The initiative resolves critical interoperability barriers caused by heterogeneous LIS with proprietary coding. This implementation framework incorporates comprehensive mapping of legacy codes to international standards and standardised reporting templates for unstructured data and enabling data exchange across previously siloed healthcare environments. Scope SNOMED CT was selected for its comprehensive semantic framework to complement LOINC in pathology reporting. Where LOINC excels at identifying standardised laboratory tests, SNOMED CT provides rich expressiveness for encoding complex pathological findings, morphological abnormalities, and qualitative interpretations. Its post-coordination mechanisms enable precise representation of anatomical sites and pathological grading. The synergy between these terminologies supports anatomic pathology reporting and interoperability required for laboratory information exchange between MOH hospitals and clinics. How SNOMED CT will be used SNOMED CT serves as the primary terminology for encoding nuanced laboratory results, including qualitative findings, morphological abnormalities, and interpretative statements. Its hierarchical structure and post-coordination capabilities enable precise representation of clinical context, anatomical sites, and pathological grading information. This complements LOINC's function in standardised test identification, creating a comprehensive semantic framework supporting data exchange, aggregation, and analysis for complex data such as anatomic pathology reports and site-specific diagnostic findings.

SNOMED International and NANDA-I Announce Five-Year Collaboration to Advance Interoperable Nursing Terminology Worldwide Back 12 Mar 2026 Back LONDON, UK & WISCONSIN, US – March 12, 2026 – SNOMED International and NANDA International, Inc. (NANDA-I) are pleased to announce a five-year collaboration agreement aimed at supporting the adoption of working practices that facilitate the use and interoperability of terminology standards produced by SNOMED International and NANDA International. Both organizations share the goal of developing and provisioning standards for the exchange of interoperable clinical and related health information. NANDA-I is a member-driven, not-for-profit organization that produces NANDA® 360, an integrated classification with a unified taxonomy that supports the formulation, validation and clarification of clinical reasoning. NANDA 360 is an assessment-driven, diagnosis-centered set of classifications that incorporates the entire nursing process (nursing diagnosis – patient goals and outcomes – nursing actions). SNOMED International is a Member-driven, not-for-profit organization that owns, develops and maintains SNOMED CT, the world’s most comprehensive clinical terminology. The organization works globally to enable consistent, high-quality health information exchange, improve clinical decision-making, and accelerate digital health transformation. The goal of the collaboration is to ensure that stakeholders globally have clear direction on the use of the standards, whether together or individually, and that an effective interoperability solution is available to users when both standards are implemented in the same system. The work will focus on supporting use internationally. Both organizations will work together to improve health and nursing care through standardized terminology; support enhanced clinical system functionality and interoperability by establishing relationships between SNOMED CT and NANDA 360; provide effective support for providers and users who implement different combinations of SNOMED CT and NANDA 360 in health information systems; support providers who implement either SNOMED CT or NANDA 360 in health information systems; and support the endorsement of NANDA 360 and SNOMED CT for uptake and use. NANDA-I CEO T. Heather Herdman strongly supported the commitment to this partnership, noting: “Improving patient outcomes requires making nursing care visible within health data. NANDA 360 provides a framework that enables the validation of nursing diagnoses and its linkages to patient goals and outcomes, and evidence-based nursing actions. Renewing and expanding our partnership with SNOMED CT enables nursing’s impact on patient outcomes to be measured and demonstrated globally, using our most up-to-date classifications.” SNOMED International is committed to supporting the global nursing agenda, and particularly the emerging theme from the “State of the World Nursing Report 2025 ” published by the WHO and ICN, which highlighted the need to harness the potential of digital tools and technologies to meet population and health system needs. Nurses need to be prepared and fully supported to competently utilize digital technologies across areas of professional practice from education to practice, research and management. The use of digital tools will support nursing practice, and importantly will lead to an improvement in patient care. SNOMED International CEO Don Sweete says the collaboration strengthens the visibility of nursing within the global health data landscape. “By aligning nursing diagnoses and patient goals and outcomes with SNOMED CT, we are enabling nursing practice to be captured in a consistent, computable way,” he says. “This partnership helps ensure that the contribution of nurses is accurately represented in digital health systems worldwide — advancing interoperability and elevating the role of nursing in improving patient outcomes.” Media Inquiries: NANDA-I Email: marketing@nanda.org SNOMED International Kelly Kuru Email: comms@snomed.org

Armenia’s electronic health record journey strengthened through SNOMED International membership Back 10 Mar 2020 Back Since the date of issue, this information is now out of date and has been archived. It has been made available for reference. London, United Kingdom, March 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As 2019 drew to a close, the Republic of Armenia’s Ministry of Health signed on as a Member of the SNOMED International community. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Armenia elaborates and implements the policies of the Republic in the healthcare sector. The Republic holds authority for the implementation of Armenia’s e-Health system, a single information platform supporting stakeholders of the country's medical institutions, citizens, and the state healthcare providers. The goal of the system is the usage of modern information and communication technologies, providing high-quality, safe, accessible and cost-effective medical services to the public; Tenets of which SNOMED CT supports in full. With a roadmap introduced by the Minister of Health at the end of 2017, SNOMED CT is well positioned to support the implementation of Armenia’s unified electronic information system approach through the provision of clinical terminology. Through the contribution of a structured clinical terminology, Armenia can leverage SNOMED CT to support delivery of projected system outcomes including the accuracy and relevancy of clinical information, a reduction in clinical miscommunication, and the ability to effectively use data to drive system-wide care decisions. SNOMED CT is the world’s most comprehensive health terminology. Founded in 2007 by nine charter nations, SNOMED International is a not-for-profit, member-owned and driven international organization. The addition of Armenia as a Member has grown the organization’s membership reaching further into Eurasia, now representing nine countries in the Asia Pacific region. “We are exceedingly pleased to be able to play a role in the Republic of Armenia’s national electronic information system implementation”, offers SNOMED International CEO, Don Sweete. “Through Protocol Decision no 43 and a definitive roadmap, Armenia sets its sights to improve the effectiveness, transparency and accuracy of health care interactions for their citizens, something that SNOMED International is proud to take part in progressing.” Since 2017, the Government of Armenia has dynamically installed e-health system in all hospitals throughout the country. In this ongoing process to achieve great results, the Ministry of Health of Armenia adopted a policy of integration of the data to be accurate, reliable and complete. For this reason, Armenia joined SNOMED International as a member country in 2019 to promote health information coding, health research and health records. Future integration and sharing of data will enhance and support clinical decisions and planning health policy. The Government of Armenia strongly has a belief that integration of SNOMED CT will not only support more accurate clinical decisions, but will also enhance productivity and patient safety. This is one step forward to unifying different local health systems. Armenia’s membership heightens the capability for clinical interoperability within the Asia Pacific region as well as leverages knowledge sharing among regional and international counterparts. SNOMED CT is part of the national infrastructure to ensure the exchange of accurate, relevant and timely information across all the information systems to support direct care, self-care and secondary uses of health information.

The German Oncological Core Dataset (named "Onkologischer Basisdatensatz" in German or short: oBDS) is used across Germany 15 regional cancer registries to collect structured data. However, no health IT standards‚ neither syntactic nor semantic‚is used in the oBDS. We present lessons learned from a feasibility study aiming to standardize the oBDS using SNOMED CT, a globally recognized, polyhierarchical medical terminology. An interdisciplinary team mapped independently 554 oBDS elements organized in 19 modules to SNOMED CT and assessed the consistency and quality of these mappings using statistical measures such as Krippendorff's Alpha and ISO scores, while also documenting concepts that could not be represented. The findings indicate that SNOMED CT is fundamentally suitable for the semantic standardization of oBDS, though certain context-specific challenges persist. The study underscores the need for further harmonization, especially through targeted expansion of SNOMED CT to better support oncological registry data and highlights that standardized terminologies can enhance data quality and interoperability in cancer registration and research.

Description The German Oncological Core Dataset (‚ÄúOnkologischer Basisdatensatz‚Äù short: oBDS) is used in Germany for the structured collection of cancer registry data across all regional cancer registries. This feasibility study analyzes the overall coverage of SNOMED concepts and evaluates current state of SNOMED CT precoordinated concepts as a potential candidate for international and interoperability, as well as providing the German National Release Center with specific suggestions for needed concepts and translations. Scope SNOMED CT is a polyhierarchy covering a large spectrum of clinical concepts such as diagnoses, procedures, side effect symptoms, body structures etc. As there are already many national translations available and used among the European countries, it is likely a candidate for an overarching terminology to be used in the European Health data space. A future exchange of health data will likely be realized via the HL7 FHIR Exchange Standard. However, SNOMED CT concepts can be used for semantic annotation of clinical ressources or for defining specific ValueSets. How SNOMED CT will be used Data elements of the oBDS data responses were mapped to SNOMED CT by four individual mappers using only precoordinated concepts; Mapping with post-coordinated concepts is planned in future iterations. Individual mapping quality was assessed using ISO Scoring. In addition, mapping heterogenity was assessed via intercoder agreement, comparing a classical Krippendorff's alpha approach with a semantically weighted Krippendorff's alpha, using a similarity matrix of SNOMED CT graph distances of two concepts as foundation for a similarity analysis.

The Monarch Initiative has signed a five-year collaboration agreement with SNOMED International. SNOMED and the Monarch Initiative collaborate to develop two-way maps for HPO The Monarch Initiative has signed a five-year collaboration agreement with SNOMED International. Back 2 Feb 2023 Back London, United Kingdom and Colorado, United States – The Monarch Initiative has signed a five-year collaboration agreement with SNOMED International to develop maps from the clinical terminology SNOMED CT to Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO - a standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities encountered in human disease) and to HPO from SNOMED CT. HPO is a flagship product of the Monarch Initiative , a U.S. National Institutes of Health -supported international consortium dedicated to semantic integration of biomedical and model organism data with the ultimate goal of improving biomedical research, and an integrative data and analytic platform connecting phenotypes to genotypes across species, bridging basic and applied research with semantics-based analysis. It is also a central component of one of the 13 driver projects in the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health strategic roadmap. SNOMED CT is a comprehensive, multilingual healthcare terminology created for use by healthcare professionals to capture the care of individuals in an electronic health record (EHR) and facilitate sharing, decision support and analytics, to support safe and effective health information exchange. As part of the agreement, the organizations will work together to develop mapping conventions by which both maps will be created, along with use cases. Both organizations will also collaborate on quality assurance, promoting the maps to their respective stakeholders and defining and agreeing upon an ongoing maintenance and updating process and policy for the developed maps. SNOMED International CEO Don Sweete explains that the collaboration is a natural next step for the two organizations, both of which have recognized and discussed the steadily increasing interest in genomics over the past few years. “The development of maps to and from both ontologies will be extremely beneficial for both clinical interoperability and research in a domain that holds so much promise for the way we understand and treat hereditary and genetic conditions,” he said. “And as the largest global clinical terminology, SNOMED CT is well-positioned to enable advances in this domain.” Melissa Haendel, PhD, is Chief Research Informatics Officer at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, one of the research institutions that’s spearheading the work of the Monarch Initiative. “Through the Monarch Initiative, our team is categorizing our collective knowledge and standardizing rare disease diagnoses worldwide,” said Dr. Haendel. “This work is also allowing researchers to globally compare disease phenotypes, as well as species, which can tell us a lot about how genetic defects affect humans.” Media Inquiries: Kelly KuruSNOMED International Email: comms@snomed.org
