The example SNOMED CT subsets included in this guide are available to download below in two formats:

  • RF2 - This format uses the standard Simple Reference Set structure (except with the refsetId replaced with an alphanumeric identifier). Please download this format if you plan to upload the subsets into a terminology server. Please note that each refsetId should be replaced with a valid numeric identifier prior to upload.
  • RF2+FSN - This format adds the US-english fully specified name to each member of the subset. Please download this format if you plan to open the subsets directly (e.g. in a text editor or spreadsheet tool) for review.
  • RF2+PT - This format adds the US-english preferred term to each member of the subset. Please download this format if you plan to use the subsets directly in a simple value list.

These subsets have been created using the July 31st 2021 International Edition of SNOMED CT.

Please read the important note below before downloading these subset files.

Important Note

SNOMED International has created the SNOMED CT subsets in this guide to provide examples of SNOMED CT concepts that may be used to code a variety of COVID-19 related data elements. 

These subsets have been guided by the collective needs and experiences of our SNOMED International Members, and may therefore contain concepts that are not appropriate for use in all countries, regions and use cases. Furthermore, they do not contain all SNOMED CT concepts required by every country, region and use case. As explained in 1.1 How to Use this Guide, these subsets should not be used in a production system without careful review and update to ensure that each subset fully meets the requirements of the intended use case. SNOMED International has provided these example subsets in good faith, and accepts no responsibility for how they are used. SNOMED International makes no guarantee that these subsets will be maintained moving forward after new releases of the SNOMED CT International Edition are published.

SNOMED International welcomes comments and suggestions about these subsets. Please use the Feedback button at the bottom of this page to send us your feedback.
