Dear all,
The December 2022 Alpha release of the EDQM (European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare) Dose Forms to SNOMED CT Map package is now available from the MLDS distribution site.
The ALPHA release package is distributed for evaluation purposes only. It must not be used in production clinical systems or in clinical settings, or distributed to Affiliate Licensees or any third parties at this time.
This Alpha release provides organizations an opportunity to perform a thorough evaluation of the EDQM Dose Forms to SNOMED CT Map package, and to provide feedback to SNOMED International.
This release is dependent upon, and should therefore be evaluated in the context of the December 2022 SNOMED CT International Edition.

When providing feedback, please include as much detail as possible, incorporating references to, or samples of, specific instances of the issue being reported. The absence of sufficient information to allow SNOMED International to confirm the reported issue may result in no action being taken prior to the Production release. Feedback on content related issues will be assessed and prioritized by SNOMED International, and a decision will be made as to whether to address any reported content issues for the Production release or as part of a future release.
If you have any questions about the December 2022 Alpha release, or have difficulties downloading this file, please contact SNOMED International at support@snomed.org with “December 2022 EDQM Dose Forms to SNOMED CT Map package Alpha release question” in the subject line.
