SNOMED CT (formerly Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms) is a comprehensive and precise, multilingual health terminology. It assists with the electronic exchange of clinical health information, can be mapped to other coding systems, and is a resource with extensive, scientifically validated clinical content. NLM serves as the US National Release Center (NRC) and member of SNOMED International and is responsible for creating and distributing the US Edition of SNOMED CT, as well as accepting content requests for inclusion in the US Edition of SNOMED CT.
