HL7, SNOMED Renew 5-year Collaboration Agreement

HL7 International and SNOMED International announced this week that they had renewed their collaborative relationship for five years, extending their commitments to develop projects advancing global health data interoperability.  

The organizations say they will focus on initiatives satisfying the use of the SNOMED CT terminology product with FHIR and other HL7 tools – especially when it comes to maintaining the HL7 International Patient Summary Free Set in line with new requirements and changes to SNOMED CT.  

"The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly heightened the demand for more seamless health data exchange. Our collaboration with SNOMED International is critical to fostering data interoperability," said HL7 CEO Dr. Charles Jaffe in a statement.
