SNOMED CT Value Propositions
Policy
Makers
Using SNOMED CT accelerates the data analysis and decision-making process for Policy Makers… decisions about policies, funding,
programs, services, procedures, treatments, and health system use… so that patient outcomes and health system value can be
improved. Policy Makers rely on Researchers and Knowledge Producers to undertake the population and management analytics and
the research necessary to support them, making more informed policy and management decisions.
