SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology with global scope covering a wide range of clinical specialties and requirements. To support the implementation of SNOMED CT, there is often a need to create maps from current in-use, local and proprietary code systems to SNOMED CT. Similarly, there is often a need to create maps from SNOMED CT to classifications and reporting code systems to support reporting, billing and statistical purposes.
The SNOMED CT Mapping Guide describes the best practice and guidelines for mapping between other code systems and SNOMED CT. Specialized mapping guidance designed for specific source and target code systems are available in other documents. For example, the ICD-10 Mapping Technical Guide.
