What Is SNOMED CT?

This episode explores SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms), a comprehensive clinical terminology system that standardizes over 350,000 medical concepts to ensure consistent, precise communication in healthcare. Maintained by SNOMED International, SNOMED CT enables providers to document, share, and access detailed patient information with ease, supporting everything from clinical decisions and public health reporting to research. Through its hierarchical structure and integration with other systems like ICD-10, SNOMED CT fosters seamless data exchange across healthcare sectors, ultimately enhancing patient care by reducing redundancies and improving the quality and accessibility of health information.
