<h2>UMLS<span class="registered">®</span> Terminology Services (UTS)</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>New SNOMED CT<span class="registered">®</span> Menu</strong><br />
|
|
All SNOMED CT-related items are now also available from the new <em>SNOMED CT</em> menu of the <a href="https://uts.nlm.nih.gov/home.html">UTS</a>. This menu includes links for the SNOMED CT homepage, related downloads, browser, and subsets. The other menus still include SNOMED CT options, as appropriate; e.g., the <em>Downloads</em> menu retains links to the SNOMED CT files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Downloads</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>SNOMED CT Downloads</strong><br />
|
|
The January 2011 International Release of SNOMED CT and the updated CORE Problem List Subset are available from both the <em>SNOMED CT</em> and <em>Downloads</em> menus of the UTS.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>US Extension to SNOMED CT</strong><br />
|
|
The first version of the US Extension to SNOMED CT is now available from both the <em>SNOMED CT</em> and <em>Downloads</em> menus of the UTS. The US Extension is a listing of the concepts, descriptions, relationships, and their history for terminology content accepted by the National Library of Medicine<span class="registered">®</span> (NLM<span class="registered">®</span>) as a formal extension to the SNOMED CT International Release.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The purpose of the US Extension is to define terminology content that is supported by a clinical use case but does not currently conform to the editorial policies or content model of SNOMED CT; or for content that is needed in advance of the next International Release of SNOMED CT. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The aim of the US Extension is to facilitate the use of SNOMED CT as the primary coding terminology for clinical information in electronic health records, research databases and clinical trials databases, except in the domains of medications and tests, which are covered by RxNorm and LOINC<span class="registered">®</span>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The US Extension to SNOMED CT is distributed as a set of five data files corresponding to the RF1 release format of SNOMED CT. The five files included in the release are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Concepts</li>
|
|
<li>Descriptions</li>
|
|
<li>Relationships</li>
|
|
<li>ComponentHistory</li>
|
|
<li>References<br /><br /></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>
|
|
Convergent Medical Terminology (CMT)</strong><br />
|
|
The CMT developed by Kaiser Permanente is now available from both the <em>SNOMED CT</em> and <em>Download</em> menus of the UTS. CMT is now available through the IHTSDO as a donation of the terminology content, tooling, and maintenance processes from Kaiser Permanente. It is available through NLM to UMLS Metathesaurus<span class="registered">®</span> licensees.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>CMT is a set of clinician and patient friendly terminology, linked to US and international interoperability standards, and related vocabulary development tools and utilities. It has grown to over 75,000 concepts. For more information, see <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/cmt/cmt_faq.html">Kaiser Permanente Opens Access to CMT to Support HHS Health IT Goals Frequently Asked Questions</a>.</p>
