SNOMED International has designed this maturity model that allows users to assess the current status of implementation and facilitates the planning for achieving greater levels of benefits from SNOMED CT.
Maturity Levels | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 0: PLANS TO USE SNOMED CT Not SNOMED CT is not yet used, but there are plans to do so. Current Currently, information is stored as free text and other codes. | ||||||
| Level 1: MAPPING TO SNOMED CT SNOMED CT is not directly recorded in record. Mapping is requiredthe clinical records. It's used through a mapping mechanism. | ||||||
| Level 2: SIMPLE CODE SYSTEM SNOMED CT is directly recorded in record. Used the clinical records. It's used as a flat list of codes. | ||||||
| Level 3: HIERARCHY Level 2 + SNOMED CT is directly recorded in the clinical records. It's used as a hierarchy of codes to support various system functions. | ||||||
| Level 4: SEMANTIC NETWORK Level 3 + SNOMED CT is directly recorded in the clinical records. It's used as a semantic network of relationships and applying simple ECL filters. | ||||||
| Level 5: ADVANCED USE Level 4 + SNOMED CT is directly recorded in the clinical records. It's used as an ontology using DL, MRCM, ECL etcpost-coordination or creating new concepts in an extension. |
