The need for consistent healthcare data exchange has made semantic interoperability a major challenge. Differences in how clinical context is captured, either within SNOMED CT terminology or through information models, often lead to fragmented communication between systems. The SNOMED CT Implementation Guide for Context Representation provides a framework to address these issues and improve the use of SNOMED CT across healthcare settings. It introduces practical solutions, including the “Situations with Explicit Context” model, which captures factors like time, subject, and certainty in clinical data. Through use cases and technical tools, the guide helps standardize terminology binding, supporting smoother workflows, better analytics, and improved clinical decision-making across systems.
