SNOMED International

SNOMED International is an international non-profit organisation that determines global standards for health terms.

We seek to improve the health of humankind by fostering the development and use of suitable standardised clinical terminologies, in order to support safe, accurate, and effective exchange of clinical and related health information. The focus is on enabling the implementation of semantically accurate health records that are interoperable.

We are committed to maintaining and growing our leadership as the global experts in healthcare terminology, ensuring that SNOMED CT, our world leading product, is accepted as the global common language for clinical terms.

As the most comprehensive clinical terminology in use around the world, the implementation and adoption of SNOMED CT can enable a multitude of benefits for health systems globally.
