  • An updated SNOMED CT International General/Family Practice subset (GP/FP Subset) and map from the GP/FP Subset to the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC-2). This release is the resulting work from the harmonization agreement between the International Health Terminology Standards and Development Organisation (IHTSDO), and the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA). Users of the map must comply with the licensing agreements of both ICPC-2 and SNOMED CT.
    
    
• ICNP to SNOMED CT (Interventions) Release
  • The International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) to SNOMED CT International Release Nursing Interventions equivalency table is the product of an ongoing collaborative agreement between the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and the IHTSDO.
