SNOMED CT
SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms) is a comprehensive clinical terminology used in healthcare. It provides a standardized way to represent medical concepts, including diseases, symptoms, procedures, and medications. This helps ensure consistent communication among healthcare providers and improves the quality of patient care.
Developed by IHTSDO (International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation), SNOMED CT is designed to support electronic health records and clinical decision-making. It enables interoperability between different health information systems, allowing for better data sharing and analysis across various healthcare settings.
