- International League Against Epilepsy
International League Against Epilepsy Back International League Against Epilepsy Clinical Partner In 2022, SNOMED International and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) signed a five-year agreement to contribute global improvements in care and services for people with epilepsy, a group of disorders characterized by recurrent seizures. The ILAE Commission for Big Data and SNOMED International have established an Epilepsy Clinical Project Group . Members of this group will work together to define processes to maintain and update epilepsy content within the international edition of SNOMED CT’s clinical terminology, the world’s most comprehensive healthcare terminology product. Additional information Over 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases globally. Although about two-thirds of people with epilepsy could be seizure free with medication treatment, gaps in diagnosis and treatment mean that millions of people continue to have seizures, which affect their health, relationships, education, and employment opportunities. The SNOMED CT International Edition has included epilepsy content for many years; now, users will benefit from input from global experts in a systematic way to ensure that the content is up to date and out of date epilepsy terminology is retired.

- SNOMED and the EDQM collaborate on map development
SNOMED International and the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM), Council of Europe, have signed an agreement... SNOMED and the EDQM collaborate on map development SNOMED International and the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM), Council of Europe, have signed an agreement... Back 31 Jan 2023 Back Strasbourg, France, and London, United Kingdom -- SNOMED International and the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM), Council of Europe, have signed an agreement governing the creation, maintenance and distribution of a map between both organisations’ terminologies. The agreement came into effect in September 2022. 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 and facilitate sharing, decision support and analytics, to support safe and effective health information exchange. The EDQM Standard Terms database contains a set of concepts used in defining and describing medicinal products, including the pharmaceutical dose form (i.e. the dosage form), route or method of administration, and certain important packaging items such as the container, closure and administration device. They are designed for use in marketing authorisation applications, medicinal product labelling (including the summary of product characteristics) and in electronic communications about medicines, as well as for related purposes such as adverse event reporting (pharmacovigilance) and clinical trials. The agreement resulted from the need identified by SNOMED International’s Drug Extension User Support Group to align EDQM Standard Terms and SNOMED CT dose forms to serve specific use cases. It will focus on putting in place mechanisms for the release, maintenance and updating of the mapping between the lists of controlled terms in the EDQM Standard Terms database and the equivalent lists in SNOMED CT. The alpha release of the EDQM Standard Terms to SNOMED CT map package for dose forms was made available by SNOMED International in early January 2023. A spreadsheet format has also been made available for those who want to review the map. Feedback received from the alpha release will be incorporated into the Production release of the map package in Q2 of 2023, followed by annual releases . Both organisations will review the conditions of the agreement every five years. They will also ensure that the quality of the map being created under the agreement meets the needs of stakeholders, and will put in place plans to distribute, maintain and update it. Additionally, any new content that is needed to create the map will be included in regular SNOMED CT International Edition releases and made available by both parties. As the work develops, both organisations may also propose future collaborative activities based on emerging requirements in the European Union or elsewhere. “We are excited about the opportunities this agreement enables to link information required for drug regulation using EDQM Standard Terms database with information captured as part of care using SNOMED CT,” said SNOMED International CEO Don Sweete. “Such an approach is a giant step in the right direction – toward seamless interoperability – and it promises enormous benefits to patient safety and healthcare delivery.” Petra Doerr, EDQM Director, stated on this occasion, “The EDQM is committed to providing quality standards for the safe use of medicines. Communicating information about medicinal products in a harmonised and understandable way is an important part of this.” She further affirmed that this mapping exercise is an important step toward improving communication between stakeholders, and complements the global implementation of the IDMP (Identification of Medicinal Products) project. About the EDQM The EDQM is a directorate of the Council of Europe , an international organisation working to promote human rights, democracy and the rule of law on the European continent and beyond. The EDQM works to protect public health by enabling the development, supporting the implementation and monitoring the application of quality standards for safe medicines and their safe use, which are recognised as a scientific benchmark and applied worldwide.

- Norway joins SNOMED International as our 30th Member
Norway joins SNOMED International as our 30th Member Back 9 Jan 2017 Back The Direktoratet for e-helse (Norwegian Directorate of ehealth) and SNOMED International announced today that as of January 1, 2017 Norway has joined as SNOMED International’s thirtieth Member. Direktoratet for e-helse (Norwegian Directorate of ehealth) is a subordinate institution of the Ministry of Health and Care Services and is leading the implementation of SNOMED CT in Norway. The decision to join SNOMED International was taken following a thorough analysis of how the Norwegian health sector could potentially benefit from implementing SNOMED CT as a terminology in selected areas. This resulted in SNOMED CT being evaluated as the most promising standard clinical terminology to best cover clinical documentation needs. Norway will initially explore SNOMED CT further to gain more competence and learn more about how SNOMED CT can support the future vision of healthcare in Norway, while at the same time provide pilot access to stakeholders with immediate needs within dentistry and terminology areas like anatomic location. SNOMED CT will also be evaluated as a reference terminology for health registries in Norway. “We are very pleased to join SNOMED International and look forward to strengthen our knowledge and cooperation between Norway and SNOMED International in order to support our healthcare in the best possible way” said the Norwegian Directorate of eHealth’s CEO Christine Bergland. “Our expectations regarding the effect of implementing SNOMED CT are high, beginning with the EHR within dentistry”. “We have had several countries join in the last few months and are very pleased to welcome Norway as a Member,” said SNOMED International CEO Don Sweete. “It is an exciting time for the organization with the new trading name, several major projects launching imminently and work continuing under collaboration agreements. As a Member, Norway adds to our organizational strength and will also benefit from all of this activity”. The addition of Norway has grown SNOMED International’s Membership to 30 countries and territories across five continents. As SNOMED International’s newest Member, Norway will be able to manage and use SNOMED CT and other related products within the country, participate on the General Assembly and more.

Supporting employees’ professional aspirations and successes through ongoing and individualized assessments of needs and aspirations, providing appropriate resources and growth opportunities. Fostering a welcoming culture in which differences are celebrated and everyone is valued, respected, and able to reach their full potential.
