  • Discover the SNOMED CT Implementation Demonstrators

    Discover the SNOMED CT Implementation Demonstrators Back 18 Mar 2025 Back SNOMED International continues to develop tools that support our community to adopt and implement SNOMED CT and realize its benefits. These tools, many of which are self-serve, are intended to make it easier for implementers with a range of experience with SNOMED CT and other clinical terminologies. That’s why we recently launched a collection of SNOMED CT Implementation Demonstrators , a curated selection of examples that showcase the many ways SNOMED CT can be implemented across different healthcare and technical use cases. In this Q&A, Implementation Support Team members Anne Randorff Højen, Implementation Support Specialist; Alejandro Lopez Osornio, Senior Implementation Specialist; and Kai Kewley, Technical Implementation Support Specialist, explain what has been developed and why, as well as how these tools can support the SNOMED CT community. Q: What is an implementation demonstrator? A: It is a tool that shows you how SNOMED CT works in specific use cases and situations. For example, the Clinical User Interface demo provides a simulation of clinical data entry on an electronic health record using SNOMED FHIR Terminology services. The demonstrators show how SNOMED CT supports interoperability, clinical workflows, and data standardization. Q: Why did we develop them and who was involved in the process? A: We wanted to offer hands-on, interactive ways to deliver a practical understanding of SNOMED CT implementations in a way that makes it easy to grasp key concepts. We developed these tools through the collaboration and expertise of the global SNOMED CT community of clinical experts , reflecting best practices and innovative use cases. Q: What are the categories of demonstrators that have been developed? A: There are various interactive demonstrations across key categories. Some are clinical; others are categorized as educational, while others are tools- application- or utility-focused. So there’s a wide range of different aspects of the implementation experience. There is even a demo that uses the OpenAI ChatGPT API to demonstrate the use of SNOMED CT with Large Language Models, and a fun game (SNOGUESS) you can play to test your own knowledge of SNOMED CT! Q: What are the three most important things to communicate about these demonstrators? A: First, each is open source, meaning there are no licence fees required to use them. Second, they are free to explore, meaning you can easily see what they can do, and third, they are easy to replicate, meaning you can use them in your own context, again, without any licensing fees. Q: Who should explore these demonstrators? What level of SNOMED CT expertise do users need? A: We developed these tools for developers, implementers, and healthcare professionals, which covers a broad swath of healthcare, but they are specifically targeted to those working with SNOMED CT. Whether you are fairly new to the terminology or more experienced, we believe you will find them useful. Q: Who uses these demonstrators? A: Since the demonstrators are hosted on a free GitHub service, we can’t track its use, but SNOMED International uses it during various online sessions to clarify implementation strategies. It also plays a role in the practical activities of our new implementation course and helps illustrate our responses to Freshdesk tickets with inquiries, among other uses. As an open-source resource, it aims to help implementers grasp best practice implementation patterns and allows them to share the code with their development teams as a reference.

  • 2024 Annual Report highlights the year's achievements and activities

    2024 Annual Report highlights the year's achievements and activities Back 13 May 2025 Back The SNOMED International 2024 Annual Report is now available. The document, which chronicles the organization’s key activities over the past year, wraps up the 2020-2025 strategy with a reflection on and an accounting of our goals for the five-year period and our successes meeting those objectives. The report outlines a number of first-time endeavours for the organization in 2024 and the benefits realized from those activities, such as formally joining the Bahmni Coalition , hosting an Entity Linking Challenge and delivery of a one-day SNOMED CT in Europe conference. A read through the 2024 report also reveals another increasingly important theme echoed over the past year – in particular, the need to better understand advanced technologies and how to harness them for the benefit of SNOMED CT users and implementers worldwide. As SNOMED International and its global community work to explore SNOMED CT as an input into Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models, it is clear the energy and enthusiasm fuelling these discussions is growing as implementers, clinicians, researchers and SNOMED CT users learn more about future possibilities. The 2024 Annual Report also provides a snapshot of the 2025-2030 Strategy , which was developed in 2024 in conjunction with our governance bodies. The new strategy, which seeks to build on the work of the past five years, includes a Technology Roadmap to ensure that the organization prioritizes initiatives focused on making SNOMED CT easier to adopt and implement, and an expanded approach to User Acceptance Testing. At the same time, the strategy also calls for a Content Roadmap based on Member priorities and balanced with ongoing content work. In addition to new and updated products and services, educational offerings, content changes and collaborations made over the year, the report provides insights into the many different ways the organization has engaged with its Members and other stakeholders. Some of the features we’re most proud of in this year’s report are the Member-focused articles that highlight their activities and successes in implementing and adopting SNOMED CT, including New Zealand discussing its use of a “working bee” to advance the use of the terminology, the piece on global cancer reporting agencies that discusses multi-agency efforts to use SNOMED CT to improve cancer care, and the article detailing our work with LOINC by Regenstrief to develop the LOINC Extension. “The 2024 annual report enables us to tell the story of our ecosystem of global stakeholders – their goals, and our work to better understand how we can support the drive for interoperability across the globe,” says SNOMED International CEO Don Sweete. We thank all our Members and the SNOMED International community for their commitment to enabling global interoperability and we look forward to sharing our 2025 activities next year.

  • Planned transition to concrete domains

    Planned transition to concrete domains Back 4 Nov 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. For over a year, SNOMED International has proposed to the Community of Practice an enhancement to SNOMED CT by adding the capability to express Concrete Domain values. This enhancement will initially target improvements in the Pharmaceutical / biologic product hierarchy . This feature will be used to better express strengths and concentrations of clinical drugs as well as ingredient counts, specifically supplying clinical drug strengths as true numbers, rather than using the existing work-around of concepts which represent those numbers. Following on from past communications, SNOMED International is providing more technical details of the planned transition. Please see here for details of the current proposed technical changes. Throughout this transition, note that the technical proposal is still in the consultation stage, and changes may still be made before the final solution is implemented. The transition to concrete domains has been discussed and agreed upon with numerous stakeholders from the community, and as such is targeted to be implemented over the course of the next two International Release cycles. In Q1, 2021, A technical preview will be published in line with the January 2021 International Edition, with drug concept strengths and counts expressed as concrete values in the new Relationships file, and currently planned to be a full RF2 International Edition package. Targeted for Q3 2021, the July 2021 International Edition will be the first release after the transition to Concrete Domains, which will impact inferred relationship file changes and stated axiom file changes to the RF2 package as well as making additional features available in the International Edition. A detailed account of these changes can be reviewed on SNOMED International’s January 2021 Early Visibility Release Notice page by following the link and searching “concrete domains.” If you foresee any critical issues with the transition plans, or have any questions regarding any of these upcoming changes, please contact SNOMED International immediately at support@snomed.org with “Concrete Domains transition question” in the subject line. Since the date of issue, this information is now out of date and has been archived. It has been made available for reference. Please visit this link to review the current status of conrete domains.

By enhancing the coverage of SNOMED CT for allied health content and aligning the content with national information models, the project makes it easier for vendors to implement Allied Health content and so contributes to a more comprehensive and integrated national health information system. Description In Australia, Allied Health practitioners represent the second largest clinical workforce in the Australian healthcare system, yet are poorly integrated into the digital health system. While digital adoption and use of clinical systems in the allied health sector continues to grow, there is still a lack of appropriate software available. The diverse range of professional disciplines working across highly varied clinical and funding environments means high levels of complexity when considering digital health requirements and a lack of digital investment. The project is a collaborative initiative between CSIRO and Allied Health Professionals Australia (AHPA) funded by the Australian Digital Health Agency; aimed at enhancing the knowledge and application of SNOMED CT among allied health professionals. While one of the main outputs is to enhance SNOMED CT with content appropriate for national Allied Health SNOMED CT, it also focused on educating Allied Health professionals about SNOMED CT and how it can be implemented in vendor systems when aligned with national clinical information models. For this project, a multi-faceted approach was used: 1. Online Training Sessions: online fundamental SNOMED CT training sessions with members of AHPA (https://www.ahpa.com.au/member-organisations) were held, representing a wide range of Allied Health clinicians. These sessions aimed to build foundational knowledge and awareness of SNOMED CT. 2. Local Code Set Sourcing: Clinicians were asked to source their local code sets, which provided a practical context for understanding the relevance and application of SNOMED CT in their specific fields, focusing on Problems/Diagnoses and Procedures. 3. Face-to-Face Workshop: A face-to-face workshop was held where hands-on training was provided to clinicians on how to use Snap-2-SNOMED, the SNOMED International hosted online mapping tool. This tool was then used by the clinicians to map their local codes to SNOMED CT. 4. Gap Analysis and Submission: During the workshop, gaps in SNOMED CT content were identified. These gaps were subsequently submitted for inclusion in SNOMED CT-AU, ensuring that the terminology remains comprehensive and relevant to the needs of Allied Health professionals. This project aims to improve the coverage of SNOMED CT for use in Allied Health settings, while also empowering Allied Health professionals with knowledge and understanding of SNOMED CT. By aligning this project with data models developed as part of a national standards process, it also reduces the barrier to implementation for vendors. Improving the data quality of clinical documentation in the Allied Health sector will enhance patient care and facilitate greater interoperability within the healthcare system. Scope SNOMED CT is Australia's preferred clinical terminology and is the clinical terminology of choice in the national standards (Australian Clinical Data for Interoperability (AUCDI) and AU Core FHIR Implementation guide). How SNOMED CT will be used SNOMED CT is used as the clinical terminology of choice for recording Allied Health clinical information including clinical findings, procedures and observations.

  • First external monthly release of the SNOMED CT International Release package

    First external monthly release of the SNOMED CT International Release package Back 28 Feb 2022 Back SNOMED International has published the SNOMED CT International Edition every six months, on 31st January and 31st July each year as its means of releasing the product. As the organization has been communicating over the past year, SNOMED International is transitioning to a more frequent delivery schedule of the SNOMED CT International Release Package. While this is a newly available feature, it is important to recognize that this enhancement only changes your current process if you or your National Release Center decides to consume frequent releases. Last year, SNOMED International began to pilot a more frequent delivery schedule of the SNOMED CT International Release Package. Making the product available on a monthly basis means less down-time required between release cycles, enabling faster turnaround of authoring content and a more agile and responsive terminology. Additionally, smaller content projects can potentially reduce the time required for urgent content changes. What does this mean in terms of how you consume SNOMED CT? The SNOMED CT International release package will now be available on the last day of each month rather than just at the end of each January and July. Users may continue to consume SNOMED CT releases biannually in January and July. Monthly releases of SNOMED CT will continue to be made available from the Member Licensing and Distribution Service (MLDS.) MLDS contains SNOMED International releases, both Production and Alpha (technology previews), available for Members to download. Who do I contact for more information?
