Mapping tools
SNOMED CT Mapping Tools allow users to create and maintain mappings between SNOMED CT and other code systems to support a wide range of implementation use cases.
Implementations require mappings to/from SNOMED CT for a wide range of reasons, including:
-
To submit statistical reports using classifications, like ICD-10
-
To generate codes from procedures vocabularies for billing
-
To support data interoperability and data integration
-
To enable advanced data analytics over existing data
-
To use national medication identifiers in the electronic prescribing process
-
To allow the user to select terms from a local interface terminology and record this using SNOMED CT
The tools in this section help implementers to create and manage maps to/from SNOMED CT.
