SNOMED International
has evolved, adapted,
strengthened and
developed our product and
related services to benefit
patients through Members,
clinicians, vendors, and
SNOMED CT users.
To our valued
Community of Practice
In 2007, IHTSDO was founded with the main purpose of working for the
betterment of humankind through the further development and global adoption
of SNOMED CT, the most comprehensive and precise, clinical terminology in
the world. Now trading as SNOMED International, the organization has evolved,
adapted, strengthened and developed the product and related services to benefit
Members, clinicians, vendors and SNOMED CT users.
Over the course of a year-long consultation
process, SNOMED International and its
associated Community of Practice have
set out the organization’s 2020-2025
Strategy. Arriving at this strategy has
been an active and collaborative process
among participants representing the
organization, General Assembly, and
Management Board governance bodies.
DELIVERED BY
Building on a strong foundation made
possible through the success of the
1
2015-2020 strategy, the organization can
begin to develop a model to link with
other terminologies and classifications,
providing a more informed view of
the patient’s record.
SNOMED CT
continues to be the most comprehensive
terminology by a factor of ten times the
clinical content and translation into more
than 11 languages, representing one third
of the global population.
