What is the GPS?
The GPS is a managed list of existing SNOMED CT unique identifiers, fully specified names (FSN), preferred terms in international English, and status flags, made available at no cost to users.
​
The GPS supports the sharing of patient health information coded with SNOMED CT without the need for a SNOMED International license.
Note: The Global Patient Set excludes SNOMED CT’s inherent relationships and hierarchies; fundamental to the nature of an ontology and its ability to enable clinical data analytics, decision support, artificial intelligence, etc.
About the GPS
The GPS is a mechanism to foster interoperability creation in less digitally mature countries as well as a tool to support the travel of citizens and their information across borders into countries not presently licensed to use SNOMED CT.
For some, the GPS provides a starting point for SNOMED CT use. For all,
the GPS can support citizen movement with assurance that a foundation of structured patient information is available, when needed most.
