LOINC - SNOMED CT Cooperative Project – BETA release available

Andrew Atkinson posted this announcement on 31 March, 2017:

"Dear all,
The Beta release of the LOINC - SNOMED CT Cooperative Project is now available, from the MLDS distribution site.
USE WITHIN CLINICAL SYSTEMS CANNOT BE SUPPORTED AT THIS TIME.
The Beta release reference sets represent a proof of concept and are distributed for evaluation purposes only. They are not for use in production clinical systems or in clinical settings.
This package is dependent upon, and should therefore be evaluated in the context of the January 2017 SNOMED CT International Edition.
All files are available from the “LOINC - SNOMED CT Cooperative package BETA release” version of the “LOINC - SNOMED CT Cooperative package - SNOMED International” project, to be found in the “Offline & Alpha/Beta Releases” section of the “IHTSDO Releases” page on MLDS, accessed here:
https://mlds.ihtsdotools.org/#/ihtsdoReleases
The release is distributed in a zipped archive file in the official RF2 format:
xSnomedCT_LOINC_Beta_20170331T120000.zip
The Release Notes have been separated from the release package, and so can be downloaded as a distinct pdf file from the same MLDS release version. They can also be accessed here online:
https://confluence.ihtsdotools.org/display/RMT/SNOMED+CT+January+2017+LOINC+-+SNOMED+CT+Cooperative+package+BETA+release+-+RF2+Release+notes
Please provide feedback by 14 April, 2017 via the online feedback form, which can be found here:

If you have any questions about the Beta release, or have difficulties downloading the files, please contact SNOMED International at support@snomed.org with the subject line as “LOINC-SNOMED CT cooperation project Beta edition”.
