THANK YOU TO OUR 2022 SPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS!
SNOMED International recently updated its SNOMED CT Foundation course, providing an introduction to a broad range of SNOMED CT related topics, including the why, what and how of SNOMED CT.
The re-launched Foundation course provides focused, introductory and interactive SNOMED CT curriculum, making it easier to engage and learn about SNOMED CT. For those wishing to continue their SNOMED CT education, the SNOMED CT Foundation course is a prerequisite for more advanced SNOMED CT courses.

The time has come for the SNOMED International community of practice to submit nominations to support this year's SNOMED International awards process.
SNOMED International acknowledges individual contributions to the organization and community through 2 awards:
- The Award for Excellence (given annually), and
- The Lifetime Achievement Award (awarded periodically)
As we return to formally recognizing excellence among the SNOMED International Community at September's planned Gala, the organization will consider granting multiple awards to multiple recipients this year.
In 2019, the Award for Excellence was awarded to Mark Jurkovich, and both Lies van Gennip and Stewart Jessamine were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Your Challenge?
- Think about someone who is worthy; Someone deserving, and someone who should be honored at the SNOMED International Gala in Lisbon this September.
- Note: An employee of SNOMED International is eligible to nominate someone so long as they find someone from the Community of Practice to serve as a co-nominator.
Please reference the awards policies and forms linked on this post or visit the Awards Page for more information. Nominations are requested by June 30 2022.

The Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) community and SNOMED International have formalized their long-time relationship with a five-year collaborative agreement that will benefit both of their user communities.
OHDSI is a non-profit, global research collaborative that provides open-source solutions and products to enable analysis and sharing of health and observational data. Coordinated by the Columbia University Department of Biomedical Informatics, its mission is to improve health by empowering a community to collaboratively generate the evidence that promotes better health decisions and better care.
SNOMED CT is a core terminology within OHDSI's common data model: Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP), allowing the use of other terminologies and classifications through computable linkages.
Effective April 29, 2022, the collaboration provides OHDSI and its user community with comprehensive ontologies on specific healthcare domains and content such as devices, social determinants of health, disease severity scores and modifiers of cancers, as well as better concept definitions and resolutions of composite concepts in large-scale observational research. In return, OHDSI and its user community can provide SNOMED International with information and feedback on clinical validation, frequency of use data, and validation of SNOMED CT content modeling. Ultimately, continuous feedback shared regarding identified content gaps will benefit both user communities as we move forward together...
