KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 -- SNOMED International, a not-for-profit organisation that owns and develops SNOMED CT has released the Global Patient Set (GPS), a managed collection of existing reference sets, available to any user at no cost.
The GPS offers clinical content across dentistry, renal, family & general practice and nursing areas, and includes IHE, DICOM and HL7 International Patient Summary (IPS) domains and activities.
“The GPS is a step towards increased clinical information sharing across borders, bridging the interoperability divide through the use of structured terminology,” said SNOMED International's general assembly chair, Lies van Gennip.
The GPS can support the nascent use of clinical terminology within a developing health system, the sharing of patient summary information across borders with existing SNOMED International Member countries or affiliates.
Offered under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License, the GPS is available to any interested party by visiting SNOMED International’s GPS information page.
The GPS will be updated and released annually to reflect changes to the underlying terminology, including concept inactivations and additions. More information at http://www.snomed.org.
