How do I answer my specific SNOMED CT implementation questions?
During the implementation of SNOMED CT, especially when the users start to provide feedback, new questions appear, for example:
- Can we create our own reference sets?
- Can we map to ICD-10? Or ICNP?
- Can we create a new map for a local vocabulary?
- Do we need to code negative findings?
- How do I represent family history in specific family members?
- Can we include new clinical drugs to map with our national pharmaceutical vocabulary?
- Can we add new concepts?
There is a variety of documentation available in the SNOMED CT Document Library that can guide implementors through these questions and decisions. Also, our Frequent Asked Questions page tracks the most frequently asked questions by users and implementors.
