Use SNOMED CT Learn about our release cycle, request changes to SNOMED CT, create your own content, and find information on maps to other terminologies and available translations. Maps to other terminologies and code systems SNOMED CT is a terminology that can cross-map to other international terminologies, classifications and code systems. Maps are associations between particular concepts or terms in one system and concepts or terms in another system that have the same (or similar) meaning. The purpose of mapping is to provide a link between one international terminology, classification and code system and another in order to obtain a number of benefits. These include: Data reuse: SNOMED CT based clinical data can be reused to report statistical and management data using other terminologies, classifications and code systems Retention of the value of data when migrating to newer database formats and schemas Avoidance of entering data multiple times and the associated risk of increased cost and errors Interoperability among international terminologies, classifications and code systems Learn about SNOMED CT maps Release information SNOMED International maintains a rigorous product release schedule. Managing the release cycle encompasses the planning, scheduling and controlled deployment of new and changed release artefacts into production environments. The detailed management of all parts of the delivery lifecycle of hardware, software and data releases, enables the delivery of high quality products and services.

Request a change Translations Apart from the English language primary release format of SNOMED CT (the SNOMED CT International release), a Spanish translation is also available and managed directly by SNOMED International. As SNOMED International's membership continues to grow, many more non-English speaking countries are joining and the desire for translations is increasing. For some, the need for translation may be a barrier to adopting SNOMED CT and becoming a Member of SNOMED International. We therefore support Member translations of SNOMED CT through guidance and financial support. There are also a number of translations that are managed by our Members. These can be accessed through the relevant National Release Center Learn more about translations Collaborative Authoring Collaborative Authoring is SNOMED International's framework for letting people outside the core internal editorial team contribute directly to SNOMED CT content and replaces an earlier initiative called the Consultant Terminologist Program (CTP).

As part of this national vision, Costa Rica made the strategic decision to implement SNOMED CT as the national clinical terminology standard, recognizing its importance in ensuring semantic interoperability, improving the quality of clinical data, enabling integration among health information systems, and supporting advanced analytics and artificial intelligence initiatives in healthcare. The country is currently promoting the progressive incorporation of SNOMED CT in priority use cases, particularly in areas such as pathology, oncology, laboratory results, and clinical interoperability based on international standards such as HL7 FHIR. In parallel, efforts are underway to develop national guidelines, terminology governance mechanisms, and institutional capacity-building initiatives to support its sustainable adoption across the national health ecosystem. The Ministry of Health, as the governing authority of the National Health System, leads this process through the Directorate of Digital Transformation and Digital Health, in coordination with public and private institutions, academia, and international organizations, promoting an implementation aligned with international best practices and the modernization objectives of the health sector. In this context, Costa Rica will continue strengthening the capabilities of its National Release Center, with the purpose of consolidating the national management of SNOMED CT, supporting implementers, promoting terminology standardization, and facilitating the secure and interoperable exchange of health information nationwide.

Malta In October 2011 Malta joined SNOMED International, contributing to the global effort to develop, maintain, and enable the use of SNOMED CT in health systems around the world. Contact Details Ministry for Health, Government of Malta 15 Merchants Street Valletta VLT2000 Malta Website: https://health.gov.mt/national-level-service/snomed-national-release-centre-malta/ Email: ivan.cacciottolo@gov.mt Appointed Representatives General Assembly: Ivan Cacciottolo Member Forum: Ivan Cacciottolo News articles The Government of Malta makes SNOMED CT available throughout Malta for use in electronic health records, health research, and other applications. Users of the terminology in Malta will also have access to new resources as they are developed. The Information Management Unit (IMU) in the Ministry for Health considers SNOMED CT to be the terminology of choice for use in electronic health records. It therefore promotes SNOMED CT as a standard for implementation in government health information systems, with a view to achieving better structuring of personal health data and greater standardisation in health record keeping. An important goal is to achieve health data capture at a finer level of granularity in order to avoid the loss of information content that inevitably occurs when classification occurs before codification. The IMU is also developing terminology services to facilitate the practical uptake of SNOMED CT. Although the national language, Maltese, is the one predominantly used by the local population, Malta’s second official language, English, is the language used as standard in medical records and health-related documentation. There is no plan to translate SNOMED CT into Maltese. The IMU continues to use SNOMED CT content in its controlled vocabularies, including the National Patient Summary system. Work also continues on mapping of locally-specific health terms to SNOMED CT concepts. Efforts remain focused mainly on terms used for recording of diagnoses, allergies, procedures and medications. Since the beginning of 2017, Malta has been taking part in the implementation of the European Union’s cross-border eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure. In this programme, EU member states are making use of a subset of SNOMED CT codes to map from certain concepts in their national eHealth infrastructure to those found in the Master Value-set Catalogue used for cross-border interoperability purposes.
