Hi HTC Members,

SNOMED International has signed a five-year collaboration agreement with openEHR , a non-profit initiative that develops open standards for electronic health records to improve data interoperability, management, and reuse, to improve data interoperability, management, and reuse. The agreement responds to a need the openEHR community has identified to include SNOMED CT in openEHR archetypes and to ensure users of those archetypes employ an international terminology standard for interoperability and SNOMED CT. It will also facilitate the ability to represent clinical content consistently and enable openEHR to develop and include SNOMED CT concepts and codes associated with openEHR archetypes.
