"The Terminology Module provides an overview and guide to the FHIR resources, operations, coded data types and externally-defined standard and FHIR-defined terminologies that are used for representing and communicating coded, structured data in the FHIR core specification and profiles. Collectively, these capabilities are used to provide the terminology service functionality required for supporting the use of coded data in FHIR resources throughout the specification as described in the other modules."

- Review and maintenance of Using SNOMED CT with FHIR page
- Changes to SNOMED CT to improve usage through terminology services
- CodeSystem, ValueSet and ConceptMap resource naming, identification and versioning
- ConceptMaps for FHIR code systems to SNOMED CT
