March 2022 SNOMED CT US Edition Available for Download

March 2022 SNOMED CT US Edition Available for Download. NLM Tech Bull. 2022 Mar-Apr;(445):b4.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce the March 2022 US Edition of SNOMED CT is available for download. This release contains 279 new active concepts specific to the US Extension and also includes the SNOMED CT COVID-19 Related Content published in the January 2022 SNOMED CT International Edition.

Notice:

SNOMED International has transitioned to a monthly delivery schedule for the International Edition of SNOMED CT. This transition to monthly releases will necessarily involve a few changes to processes/packages:

• Delta files have been removed from the release package, but a Delta Generation Tool is available for those who need it. The Delta Generation Tool allows users to create their own Delta between two fixed release dates.
• There is no longer any need to separate the Map files from the International Edition. The ICD-0/ICD-10 Maps will continue to be published in each monthly International Edition release package (in line with that month's content) for the foreseeable future, unless there are issues with the new process in production, and they need to be removed at a later date.

While the SNOMED CT International Edition is moving to monthly releases, the US Edition of SNOMED CT will remain on the current bi-annual release schedule of March and September.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the information above, please contact SNOMED International at support@snomed.org.
