1 Introduction
SNOMED CT terminology provides a common language that enables a consistent way of indexing, storing, retrieving, and aggregating clinical data across specialties and sites of care.
The International Health Terminology Standards Development organisation (IHTSDO®), trading as SNOMED International, maintains the SNOMED CT technical design, the content architecture, the SNOMED CT content (includes the concepts table, the descriptions table, the relationships table, a history table, and ICD mappings), and related technical documentation.
The SNOMED CT Irish Extension - packages these components for release every April and October, to be used with the latest SNOMED CT International Edition release.
The same content can be viewed online using the SNOMED CT browser., and eHealth Ireland website
