Background SNOMED CT, or the Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms, is a clinical terminology set used to record patent data to facilitate decision-making and analytcs. It strives to be the global standard and has over 30 contributng member countries working to create a common language to exchange health informaton clearly and accurately. SNOMED CT is specifc and comprehensive, currently containing more than 300,000 medical concepts, divided into hierarchies.[ CITATION SNO18 \l 1033 ] Each concept is represented by an individual number and several concepts can be used simultaneously to describe a complex conditon. By using numbers to represent medical concepts, SNOMED CT provides a standard by which medical conditons and symptoms can be referred to internatonally. SNOMED CT is designed to be managed by a computer. It's not just a fat list of numbers and corresponding terms. It's a complex relatonship of concepts. These concepts are shown in the image below.

Image from Snow Owl User Guide [ CITATION Sno18 \l 1033 ] SNOMED CT maps to other internatonal standards such as ICD-10. If SNOMED is not implemented in the EHR, an online mapping tool can be used. You’ll be exploring the use of I- MAGIC as part of this actvity, and many other optons exist. SNOMED CT vs. ICD SNOMED CT is diferent from ICD-10. SNOMED CT is clinical terminology designed for direct use by healthcare providers during the process of providing care. It is designed for input of problems, encounter diagnosis, procedures, health history, and smoking status. SNOMED CT is more granular and includes more than 300,000 concepts, 790,000 descriptons, 19 hierarchies, and 920,000 relatonships. ICD codes, on the other hand, are designed to be used by coding professionals once the episode of care (the encounter) is completed. The code captures the diagnosis or problem. ICD codes are designed for output and billing. ICD-10 currently includes more than 150,000 codes. [ CITATION Hel13 \l 1033 ] SNOMED CT and Electronic Health Records When talking about SNOMED CT in terms of use with an Electronic Health Record (EHR), SNOMED CT improves communicaton and increases the availability of health informaton. If clinical informaton is stored in the EHR in ways that allow consistent, meaning-based retrieval (structured data entry), the benefts are greatly increased. The added benefts range from increased opportunites for real-tme decision support to more accurate retrospectve reportng for research and management.
