We are excited to announce that as of January 1, 2017 we have adopted the trading name of SNOMED International and moved our headquarters to London.

In the ten years since IHTSDO was established in 2007 we have grown from nine to thirty Members, and over 5,000 individual and organization Affiliates. Changing our name to SNOMED International reflects the organization’s focus on our global product SNOMED CT, and our commitment to determining international healthcare terminology standards and engaging with the clinical and vendor communities to incorporate SNOMED CT into healthcare information systems across the world.

“The last ten years have seen great advances in capturing clinical documentation digitally, integrating electronic health record systems, and using global healthcare data,” said SNOMED International Management Board Chair Jamie Ferguson. “SNOMED CT has been instrumental in the adoption of a common global language that allows for the exchange and analysis of healthcare information for the benefit of patients, clinicians and health policy makers.”

“Changing our trading name and moving our headquarters to London is an important step in the evolution of our organization,” said CEO Don Sweete. “The coming years hold exceptional promise for SNOMED International as we further increase our global presence and expand into some exciting new areas like genomics.”

Although the new UK entity is officially operating from January 1, there are still a few steps to go through to formally wind down the Danish entity. There is also still some work to do to move our documentation to the new templates with the trading name of SNOMED International. It has been quite a journey and we appreciate the support and patience of the SNOMED CT Community as we complete the transition.
