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 help to support a successful range of implementation tasks, 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 extensionsfrom managing the creation and maintenance of reference sets, maps and translations, to providing terminology services to effectively access SNOMED CT content from a software application. You can explore the wide range of SNOMED CT tooling options available below.
Allow users to navigate SNOMED CT |
, see the different components and the relationships between them. |
User Interfaces
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.
Reference Set Tools | Allow implementers to create and maintain subsets of SNOMED CT codes for |
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.
Subset Tools
Subsets are an important resource in many implementations, grouping concepts in SNOMED CT that apply toa specific use case, |
e.g. data entry of diagnoses for a clinical specialty, prioritisation of translations |
, data |
analytics queries, |
etc. |
Mapping Tools |
Support the creation and maintenance of mappings between SNOMED CT |
and other |
code systems, e.g. local codes, billing codes, statistical classifications |
, to facilitate a wide range of implementation use cases, e.g. migration to SNOMED CT, data integration, reporting. | |
Translation Tools | 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. |
Authoring Tools | The Authoring platforms support the creation of new SNOMED CT concepts, with concept definitions that follows the specifications of the Concept Model. |
Release Services | 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. |
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. |
Record Services | Record services are examples and real world implementations that show how SNOMED is integrated into the information models of clinical applications. |
User Interfaces | 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. |
Data Analytics | A set of tools and demonstrations on how data analytics processes can benefit from the use of SNOMED CT and the capabilities provided by the use of an ontology. |
