Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT):
- SNOMED-CT is a combination of two bodies of work: the SNOMED reference terminology (2000) developed by the College of American Pathologists and the Clinical Terms (version 3, 1999) created by the UK Health Service.
- SNOMED-CT is a mammoth hierarchical collection of terms with January 2009 release of SNOMED-CT contains 315,000 concepts, 806,000 descriptions and 945,000 relationships. Concepts refer to clinical findings, body parts, observations, medical procedures, physical objects, etc. Descriptions are synonymous or variant terms for the concepts.
- SNOMED-CT is owned and governed by a non-profit organisation incorporated in Denmark, the International Health Terminology Standards Organisation (IHTSDO) which was founded in 2007.
- The CSIRO Australian eHealth Research Centre (AEHRC) has developed Snapper, an Eclipse-based application to assist in the mapping of one ontology to another such as SNOMED CT, and a project is underway to create a subset of SNOMED CT for ED systems.
- see MJA 2011 article on this mapping project.
