Description
At first, SNOMED-CT terminology will be used for the capture of surgical procedures in our operating room management software. In a near future, we plan to generalize the use SNOMED-CT to capture medical information (in structured fields or using NLP technology on unstructured text) in our EHR.
Scope
These developments form a part of a larger initiative grouping Belgian hospitals and software vendors who wish to promote implementation of the SNOMED CT terminology in their EHRs.

Because SNOMED CT was the terminology chosen in the Belgian e-Health roadmap. Also because it has the broadest medical field coverage.
