Implementing SNOMED CT can be made much easier with the effective use of tooling. On this page we explore a range of SNOMED CT tools that can support a successful implementation, including:grouped according to the implementer needs, ranging from making SNOMED available to a software application through terminology services to different tools that support content authoring in extensions.

This is a short paragraph explaining what browsers areThe SNOMED CT Browsers allows the user to navigate the terminology, see the different components and the relationships between them.
Search and Data Entry

Map
Translate
This collection of best practice recommendations and open source examples demonstrate the possibilities for developing search and data entry user interfaces in end user applications.
Implement Terminology Services
Implementing a central solution that provides access to all the SNOMED CT content and features, a SNOMED CT Terminology Server, is the most common implementation architecture. It simplifies the development of clinical applications that consume these terminology services through APIs.
Create Subsets
Subsets are an important resource in many implementations, grouping concepts in SNOMED CT that apply to a specific use case, like clinical specialities data entry, translations prioritization, data analysis or others. The tools described in this section allow the implementers to create and maintain these subsets.
Map
Mappings support the use of SNOMED CT along other vocabularies, like codes in legacy systems, billing codes, statistical classifications, etc. The Mapping tools support the creation and maintenance of mappings between SNOMED CT and other vocabularies, in order to support use cases where the information can be translated to or from different terminologies.
Translate
Translation tools support the creation of SNOMED CT descriptions in different languages, while enforcing a quality assurance process that includes reviews and validations against guidelines and specifications.
Manage Releases
Producing standard SNOMED CT releases that can be imported into terminology servers and other applications requires to closely follow many conventions and specifications. The Release Manager tools support the creation and validation of release packages.
Author Content
The Authoring platforms support the creation of new SNOMED CT concepts, with concept definitions that follows the specifications of the Concept Model.
