1 Introduction

SNOMED CT terminology provides a common language that enables a consistent way of indexing, storing, retrieving, and aggregating clinical data across specialties and sites of care.

The International Health Terminology Standards Development organisation (IHTSDO®), trading as SNOMED International, maintains the SNOMED CT technical design, the content architecture, the SNOMED CT content (includes the concepts table, the descriptions table, the relationships table, a history table, and ICD mappings), and related technical documentation.

The SNOMED CT Irish Extension - packages these components for release every April and October, to be used with the latest SNOMED CT International Edition release.

The same content can be viewed online using the SNOMED CT browser, and eHealth Ireland website

 

2 Background

This document provides a summarized description of the content changes included in the April 2023 Production release of the SNOMED Clinical Terms® Managed Service Ireland Extension package.

It will also include technical notes detailing the known issues which have been identified (should any of these exist). These are content or technical issues where the root cause is understood, and the fix has been discussed and agreed, but has yet to be implemented.

This Ireland Extension package is dependent upon, and should therefore be consumed in conjunction with the SNOMED CT® February 2023 International Edition release.

2.1 Scope

This document is written for the purpose described above and is not intended to provide details of the technical specifications for SNOMED CT or encompass every change made during the release.

 

NOTICE

This is an Interim release containing additional IE Drugs module (1601000220105) content only, as compared to the April 2023 IE Extension release package.  It therefore retains the April 2023 EffectiveTime (20230421), even for the additional Drugs module content, which was authored prior to the versioning of the April 2023 content.  

Please ONLY use this package if you are interested in this additional Drugs module content, as otherwise the content remains identical to the April 2023 IE Extension content.
