SNOMED International designs, develops and supports a wide range of tools and services primarily to support the production of International and Spanish Editions of SNOMED CT, and to help the adoption of SNOMED CT with open source software.

The services offered cover online tools to request, author and distribute SNOMED CT content. While some of the platforms are only used by SNOMED International staff, others, including the Reference Set and Translation tool are available to be used by the SNOMED CT community.

Some of the key tools are listed further down this page.

The SNOMED International SNOMED CT browser provides ways to browse and search different SNOMED CT Editions from SNOMED International and its Member countries.

The SNOMED CT browser is provided to anyone to use for reference purposes.

The Managed Service was created to provide an online service that would allow SNOMED International Members to manage and distribute a release of a SNOMED CT local extension from start to finish in simple, standard manner. The Managed Service was designed to provide a value for money, off the shelf service for SNOMED International Members, benefitting from the use of a shared platform.

The Managed Service provides a fully hosted service with:

• access to SNOMED International technical and content staff for support;
• use of the SNOMED CT Authoring Platform and the Reference Set & Translation tool;
• validation, release and distribution of SNOMED CT local extensions twice a year.
