Implementing SNOMED CT can be made much easier with the effective use of tooling. SNOMED CT tools can help to support a range of implementation tasks, from managing the creation and maintenance of reference sets, maps and translations, to providing terminology services to effectively access SNOMED CT content from a software application. You can explore the wide

Reference Set Tools

Allow implementers to create and maintain subsets of SNOMED CT codes for a specific use case, e.g. data entry of diagnoses for a clinical specialty, prioritisation of translations, data analytics queries, etc.

Mapping Tools
Support the creation and maintenance of

Allow users to create and maintain mappings between SNOMED CT and other code systems, e.g. local codes, billing codes, statistical classifications, to

facilitate

support a wide range of implementation use cases, e.g. migration to SNOMED CT, data integration, reporting.

Translation Tools
Translation tools support

Support the creation of SNOMED CT descriptions in different languages,

while enforcing a quality assurance process that includes reviews and validations against guidelines and specifications

with the associated quality assurance processes.

Authoring Tools
The Authoring platforms support

Support the creation and modelling of new SNOMED CT concepts

, with concept definitions that follows the specifications of the

in accordance with the SNOMED CT Editorial Guidelines and the SNOMED CT Concept Model.

Release Services
Producing standard SNOMED CT releases

Support the creation, validation and bundling of SNOMED CT release packages in a standard format that can be imported into terminology servers and other applications

requires to closely follow many conventions and specifications

.

The Release Manager tools support the creation and validation of release packages.

Terminology Services
Implementing a central solution that provides access to all the

Provide an effective way of implementing SNOMED CT by enabling SNOMED CT content

and features, a SNOMED CT Terminology Server, is the most common implementation architecture. It simplifies the development of clinical applications that consume these terminology services through APIs.

to be searched and queried via an API (application programming interface).

Record Services

Support the functions of a clinical record system, including the display and storage of terminology content in the health records.

User Interfaces

Allow users to search, enter and display SNOMED CT data in healthcare records.

Natural Language ProcessingSupport the extraction of coded clinical entities from free text sources, to support data-entry and analytics.
Data Analytics Tools

Enable users to query over clinical data that contains SNOMED CT codes to take advantage of the rich semantic definitions included in SNOMED CT

Record ServicesRecord services are examples and real world implementations that show how SNOMED is integrated into the information models of clinical applications.User InterfacesThis collection of best practice recommendations and open source examples demonstrate the possibilities for developing search and data entry user interfaces in end user applications.Data AnalyticsA set of tools and demonstrations on how data analytics processes can benefit from the use of SNOMED CT and the capabilities provided by the use of an ontology
