The SNOMED CT Maturity Framework is a five level model that can be used to categorize implementations based on a scale of increasing SNOMED CT capabilities.

This framework can be used SNOMED International has designed this maturity model that allows users to assess the current status maturity level of implementation and facilitates planning for achieving greater levels of benefits from SNOMED CTa SNOMED CT implementation, or to help plan for higher maturity levels which provide additional benefits.
