Our partners
SNOMED International has an active program of partnering with international standards development organizations, professional clinical bodies and commercial organizations. The goal is to facilitate the use of SNOMED CT with other international standards and profiles.
The SNOMED CT Included badge represents content fully integrated as part of SNOMED CT.
While partners retain ownership of their content, SNOMED International manages, produces, releases and distributes it as part of SNOMED CT.
The focus of partnerships is to enhance consistency in meaningful data capture and information exchange and to improve safety, while enhancing functionality and enabling interoperability for the growing number of healthcare professions that use and exchange electronic health records using SNOMED CT and related products.
Some of the resulting products include mappings, SNOMED CT subsets and guidance on the use of SNOMED CT alongside, and integrated with, other standards.
SNOMED International, as part of its commitment to developing its approach to Genomics, has become a member of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health. As a member, SNOMED International contribute to work to identify content requirements, and to provide support for the interoperability challenges faced by the global genomics community.

In 2022, SNOMED International and the International Diet Dysphagia Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) signed an agreement to incorporate IDDSI Framework v2.0 content into SNOMED CT to enable use in electronic health records globally.
The agreement has been driven by community requests as well as by the need identified by the SNOMED International Nutrition Care Process Terminology (NCPT) Clinical Project Group to include IDDSI Framework v2.0 content in order to facilitate the inclusion of NCPT in SNOMED CT.

Effective as of October 1, 2021 for a five-year term, the collaboration struck with the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) emerged from the need identified by the SNOMED International Dentistry Clinical Reference Group (CRG) to update and augment the periodontal content in SNOMED CT.
To ensure periodontal content within SNOMED CT is in line with current practice, the Dentistry CRG advised incorporation of content from the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions, jointly published by the AAP and the EFP.
