The implementation of
SNOMED CT in NSW is virtually in its infancy and there are likely to be lessons learned for other Australian and international jurisdictions.
Kripps has previously worked for Thomson Micromedex and has extensive knowledge of mapping drug data to
SNOMED CT as well as LOINC.
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce a new Clinical Observations Recordings and Encoding (CORE) Problem List Subset of

The
SNOMED CT dataset contains over 300,000 unique concepts, all of which can be found using Snomobile in a matter of seconds.
Donna Truran, Patricia Saad, Ming Zhang and Kerry Innes argue that
SNOMED CT will play a vital role in the solutions to these dilemmas by providing a standardised method of inputting data into our health systems via the Electronic Health Record (EHR) (Truran et al.
Several years ago, CAP began to offer a
SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine--Clinical Terms)-encoded checklist version in a database format to software developers.
